Description Jan Pazdziora 2009-10-05 08:18:24 UTC
Description of problem:

In satellite/install/install.pl, we have function remove_php_packages which removes packages matching

rpm -qa | egrep '(php|piranha|squirrelmail|specspo)'

That should not be needed and we should not do this silent rpm -e.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Satellite-5.3.0 GA (and many older versions).

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have RHEL machine without Satellite.
2. Install packages php, piranha, squirrelmail, and specspo.
3. Install Satellite.
  
Actual results:

Packages php, piranha, squirrelmail, and specspo are gone.

Expected results:

Packages php, piranha, squirrelmail, and specspo all should stay, and Satellite should pass all the other tests.

Additional info:

If having any of those packages installed causes some regression of the Satellite, please open new bugzilla to address the primary cause of any problem which might be there.

Note that the rpmlib (which might have caused memory leak) won't be fixed in RHEL 5 (bug 480127). But even if that was still a problem, Panu recommends

rpm.delMacro("_i18ndomains")

in bug 480127 to address it.

The specspo conflict was already removed in Satellite 5.3.0 packages via bug 79640.
