Description CoreDump 2001-11-14 14:22:09 EST

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.7-0.8 i586)

Description of problem:
install-info: menu item `yes' already exists, for file `sh-utils'
error: execution of %post scriptlet from fileutils-4.1.1-1 failed, exit
status 1


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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -U fileutils-4.1.1.-1.rpm

I have sh-utils and fileutils from the previous distribution already
installed

You need to upgrade sh-utils at the same time (they're using the same info 
page these days).

Comment 2 CoreDump 2001-11-18 17:11:52 EST

I did so, the bug message still exists.

After install:
# rpm -q sh-utils
sh-utils-2.0.11-7

# rpm -q fileutils
fileutils-4.1-3
fileutils-4.1.1-1

As you can see, the older version is also reported by rpm.

Comment 3 CoreDump 2001-11-18 18:04:02 EST

Ok, the problem is that /etc/info-dir already has entries like:
* yes: (sh-utils)yes invocation.               Print a string indefinitely.

This rpm (fileutils-4.1.1-1) wants to change it like:
* yes: (coreutils)yes invocation.               Print a string indefinitely.

Instead of changing the entry, it complains and fails to completely upgrade.
I consider this a bug which requires a lot of manual editing in /etc/info-dir
to remedy. Cutting all of the lines with (sh-utils), (textutils), (fileutils)
and 3-4 other lines made upgrading possible.

Comment 4 Sammy 2001-11-25 10:15:41 EST

The latest sh-utils and fileutils-4.1.2-1 still has the bug!!
