Description Daniel Mach 2009-01-20 08:47:43 UTC
I think that chkconfig is needed only for this part of %post:

# get rid of the old installations on upgrade
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/init.d/kerneld ] ; then
    /sbin/chkconfig --del kerneld
fi


Can you remove these lines and chkconfig dependency?
I suppose that kerneld is obsoleted for many years.

Comment 1 Tomas Mraz 2009-01-22 14:39:24 UTC
IMO chkconfig should be a part of the minimum install. But of course I am not against removing the dependency if it is bogus.

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 10:48:00 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

I think you can safely remove this dependency.
Chkconfig is definitely pulled somehow else into the installation package set.

Comment 4 Karel Volný 2010-01-08 13:47:03 UTC
the bug is still valid, ping, pls, could this be resolved?

Comment 5 Daniel Mach 2010-01-13 13:11:43 UTC
F11 looks good now, but F12 and rawhide still contain:
Prereq: /sbin/chkconfig

Comment 6 Jon Masters 2010-01-18 23:12:09 UTC
Weird. Ok. I'll respin this.

Comment 7 Bug Zapper 2010-03-15 12:24:20 UTC

Comment 8 Marcela Mašláňová 2010-11-02 14:59:30 UTC
In F-{13,14,15} is still in prereq chkconfig, but it's not used in spec file. Could you remove it?
This should be removed during merge review, which was never finished #226157.

Comment 9 Jon Masters 2010-11-02 21:06:52 UTC
ok

Comment 10 Bug Zapper 2011-06-02 18:17:31 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '13'.

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 13'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 13 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:

plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.
