Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2011:0122 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE spice-usb-share and kspiceusb-kmod bug fix update (was spice-usb-redirector) 2011-01-12 17:28:42 UTC

Description Lei Wang 2010-06-02 10:47:32 UTC 
Description of problem:
The default kernel in rhel-5.5-client/32 is PAE kernel and there's no kmod-spice-usb-redirector for PAE kernel, so we need yum install common kernel in order to install kmod-spice-usb-redirector, after that when we try to remove kmod-spice-usb-redirector, there appears an error message.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kmod-spice-usb-redirector-4.5-2.el5.i386.rpm

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install common kernel to rhel-5.5-client os:
# yum install kernel.i686
2.Reboot, select the common kernel at grub
3.Install kmod-spice-usb-redirector and all dependent packages
4.Remove kmod-spice-usb-redirector:
# rpm -e kmod-spice-usb-redirector
  
Actual results:
An error message appears:
FATAL: Could not open '/boot/System.map-2.6.18-194.el5': No such file or directory

Expected results:
No error message appears

Comment 3 Uri Lublin 2010-09-28 19:02:18 UTC 
I think this also true for 64 bit OS.

Note that the kernel has been updated (2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 vs 2.6.18-194).

The problem is in the %postun section.
Fix is to make it similar to the %post section, which is:
only call depmod if "/boot/System.map-${verrel}${variant}" exists.

Fix is in kmodtool (which is basically a change to the spec-file).

Let me know if you need anything from me.
Comment 9 Lubos Kocman 2010-11-02 16:44:52 UTC 
Verified on kspiceusb-kmod-4.5-8.el5
 
rpm -e spice-usb-share will raise mentioned output.
