Created attachment 320356 [details] patch to fix the problem Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):rarian-0.6.0-3.fc8.src.rpm How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mock -r fedora-8-i386 --init 2. mock -r fedora-8-i386 --install rarian-compat 3. Actual results: add command failed could not open /etc/xml/catalog for saving could not open /etc/xml/catalog for saving add command failed error: %post(rarian-compat-0.6.0-3.fc8.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 2 Expected results: clean install
This is fixed already in Fedora 9, though your patch is interesting in that I didn't realize you could require specific files. The Fedora 9 package requires libxml2 for %post and %postun, which provides /etc/xml/catalog. Do you have a particular need for this to be backported to Fedora 8?

So I just checked; there's a rarian-0.6.0-4.fc8 with this fix (backported from Fedora 9) already in Fedora Updates Testing. Can you try that and see if it works for you?

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
