Description of problem: I got the following error when I installed epel-release: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.Vu2IO3: line 1: /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources: No such file or directory /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.Vu2IO3: line 3: /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources: No such file or directory The package has a %post script that's trying to add its configuration to the file above. However, I don't have rhn-client-tools (yet), so I don't have /etc/sysconfig/rhn. epel-release should require rhn-client-tools to make sure the directory exists and file 'sources' can be altered/created, or the echo (and sed in %postun) should silently discard any errors. What do you think? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): epel-release-6-4
Fixing for EL6. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2530272 New version built which no longer messes with /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources, as it doesn't appear to exist/be useful in el6. New epel-release should be pushed in the next 24 hours for el6.
Thanks!
