Description of problem: R have an old and wrong, i presume, R-make-search-index.sh. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.8.1-2.el5 on RHEL5.3 How reproducible: Always Install R and install any R-<package> Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum -y install R 2. yum -y install R-zoo 3. Actual results: In installing R-zoo yum -y install R-zoo Loaded plugins: downloadonly, keys, security, versionlock Reading version lock configuration Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package R-zoo.noarch 0:1.5-4.el5 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================================================================================================== Installing: R-zoo noarch 1.5-4.el5 epel-updates 748 k Transaction Summary ============================================================================================================================================================== Install 1 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 748 k Downloading Packages: R-zoo-1.5-4.el5.noarch.rpm | 748 kB 00:00 Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Installing : R-zoo [1/1] /usr/lib/rpm/R-make-search-index.sh: line 7: /usr/lib64/R/doc/html/search/index.txt: No such file or directory /usr/lib/rpm/R-make-search-index.sh: line 8: /usr/lib64/R/doc/html/search/index.txt: No such file or directory Installed: R-zoo.noarch 0:1.5-4.el5 Complete! Expected results: No warning in %post and %postun postinstall and correct generation of R index.txt. Additional info: If the R-make-search-index.sh from FC10 is right, and i am sure of this, also the Fedora Packaging Guideline of packaging R are wrong when describe the "generating the search index.txt" paragraph. In particular the "at %{_libdir}/R/doc/html/search/index.txt" referenced should be changed in something like "at /usr/share/doc/R-<version>/html/search/index.txt"
Whoops! I forgot to update the EPEL branches with the updated R-make-search-index.sh. I've also corrected the Packaging/R page with the proper location for the search index.txt. I'll fix this in the next build, along with 477076.
Built updates for EPEL, R-2.8.1-3.el4 and R-2.8.1-3.el5.
