Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 501360
sgml-common.spec lacks Requires: /bin/basename
Last modified: 2009-05-19 09:37:01 EDT
Description of problem: The postinstall scriptlets of packages using /usr/bin/install-catalog fails during Fedora 11 OS installation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sgml-common-0.6.3-27.fc11 How reproducible: Depends on the exact package mix. Always happens if sgml-common gets installed before coreutils . Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 11 OS, with sgml-common and html401-dtds included. 2. grep -A 3 "Installing html401-dtds" /root/install.log (html401-dtds postinstall triggers the bug) Actual results: Installing html401-dtds-4.01-19991224.9.noarch /usr/bin/install-catalog: line 14: basename: command not found /usr/bin/install-catalog: line 133: basename: command not found /usr/bin/install-catalog: line 143: basename: command not found Expected results: No error message in /root/install.log . Additional info: The problem is evident from examination of /usr/bin/install-catalog and the spec file of sgml-common . /usr/bin/install-catalog (part of sgml-common) uses basename, but sgml-common.spec does not have a Requires entry that reflects that dependency. The bug is triggered by the installation of html401-dtds -- its postinstall scriptlet calls /usr/bin/install-catalog . The fix is to add this to sgml-common.spec: Requires: /bin/basename
Thanks for report, fixed and built in rawhide as sgml-common-0.6.3-28.fc12 . Not sure what to do with F-11 and lower sgml-common's - as update doesn't solve much (problem usually appears only for installation - otherwise coreutils/busybox are present on almost every machine). Closing RAWHIDE.
