From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.72 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.18 i686) Description of problem: the binutils rpm uses /sbin/install-info in its postinstall script, but has no dependancy on info, which provides /sbin/install-info. When installing a custom system with anaconda, chances are that binutils gets installed _before_ info does, so the postinstall script will fail. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install a custom system with anaconda 2. see output from /tmp/install.log below 3. Actual Results: Installing binutils. /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.71027: /sbin/install-info: No such file or directory /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.71027: /sbin/install-info: No such file or directory /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.71027: /sbin/install-info: No such file or directory /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.71027: /sbin/install-info: No such file or directory /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.71027: /sbin/install-info: No such file or directory /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.71027: /sbin/install-info: No such file or directory /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.71027: /sbin/install-info: No such file or directory execution of %post scriptlet from binutils-2.9.5.0.22-6 failed, exit status 126 Expected Results: anaconda should have installed info before binutils Additional info: Chances are that in other systems info does get installed before binutils due to some other requirement.
This was fixed in binutils that are in 7.1 distribution and up. I don't think it is severe enough to require errata for 6.2.
