Description Alan Pevec 2010-09-27 15:50:11 UTC
Should be fixed when augeas is added to RHEL-5 (bug 637803)

Probably requires a fix in RHEL-5 libvirt RPM too, which includes its own augeas lens.


+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #461317 +++

The directory /usr/share/augeas/lenses contains lenses (text files) that Augeas (http://augeas.net/) uses to parse and process configuration files.

This directory is currently owned by the augeas-libs RPM; since there are other packages (e.g. libvirt) that are interested in shipping lenses, that's not a good situation: installing Augeas should be a decision up to the user, and it is explicitly designed so that other packages can ship lens definitions without requiring Augeas itself - they only drop a text file into /usr/share/augeas/lenses to make themselves manageable by Augeas

Hence %{_datadir}/lenses needs to be owned by a neutral third party, i.e. filesystem.

That should be %{_datadir}/augeas/lenses

Added in filesystem-2.4.19-1.fc10.

Thanks,

Read ya, Phil

Ok, imho it's just cosmetic thing - if other packages interested in shipping lenses will drop a file there without augeas installed it will only lead to unowned directory on the system. But will do that, if resources in one of the future RHEL-5 updates available.

Closing WONTFIX for RHEL-5. We are too late in RHEL-5 release cycle and this is resolved in RHEL-6+.
