Description Ben Webb 2009-02-25 20:58:33 UTC
Description of problem:
The nagios package requires httpd:

$ rpm -q --requires nagios
/bin/sh  
/bin/sh  
/bin/sh  
/bin/sh  
/bin/sh  
/usr/bin/perl  
chkconfig  
chkconfig  
config(nagios) = 3.0.5-1.fc10
httpd  
...

But... Nagios doesn't really *require* Apache - you only need it if you want to use its web interface. I happen to only use the command-line tools (I don't want to run a web server on my management hosts). Currently this means I need to install with --nodeps, which is non-optimal.

Ideally the nagios package would be split into two - perhaps a nagios package which pulls in everything, and a nagios-cli package which does not require httpd (I'm thinking of the split in the php package as my model here). The latter package would also not need to install any of the CGI scripts or CSS/HTMl stuff, which would probably trim the dependencies some more as a bonus.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nagios-3.0.5-1.fc10.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to install 'nagios' on a system without 'httpd'.
  
Actual results:
yum wants to pull in 'httpd'.

Expected results:
Nagios installs without requiring httpd.

Comment 1 Mike McGrath 2009-06-22 20:06:07 UTC
Removed, will go out with next build.

Comment 2 Jose Pedro Oliveira 2009-07-24 02:26:12 UTC
Reopening as the solution applied in

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-commits/2009-June/msg08172.html

creates unowned directories, namely:

 * /etc/httpd/
 * /etc/httpd/conf.d/


/jpo

Comment 3 Jose Pedro Oliveira 2009-07-24 13:09:30 UTC
It also changes the group owner of .htpasswd (apache -> root)

...
%attr(0640,root,apache) %config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/%{name}/.htpasswd
...

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2009-11-18 09:11:21 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 10.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '10'.

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 10'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 10 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

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2009-12-18 08:02:36 UTC
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)
