Description of problem: during update of Fedora 15 Updating : glibc-2.13.90-5.x86_64 3/82 > Non-fatal POSTIN scriptlet failure in rpm package glibc-2.13.90-5.x86_64 > /usr/sbin/glibc_post_upgrade: While trying to execute /sbin/service > child exited with exit code 1 > warning: %post(glibc-2.13.90-5.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glibc-2.13.90-5.x86_64 How reproducible: Two different hardware sets, both on Fedora 15 Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum update 2. 3. Actual results: As above Expected results: no scriptlet failure Additional info: From Jakob Jelinek on test list: Possibly glibc_post_upgrade needs some hacks for systemd. /* Check if telinit is available and either SysVInit fifo, or upstart telinit. */ if (access ("/sbin/telinit", X_OK) || ((!!access ("/dev/initctl", F_OK)) ^ !access ("/sbin/initctl", X_OK))) _exit (0); /* Check if we are not inside of some chroot, because we'd just timeout and leave /etc/initrunlvl. */ if (readlink ("/proc/1/exe", initpath, 256) <= 0 || readlink ("/proc/1/root", initpath, 256) <= 0) _exit (0); if (check_elf ("/proc/1/exe")) verbose_exec (116, "/sbin/telinit", "/sbin/telinit", "u"); /* Check if we can safely condrestart sshd. */ if (access ("/sbin/service", X_OK) == 0 && access ("/usr/sbin/sshd", X_OK) == 0 && access ("/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd", X_OK) == 0 && access ("/bin/bash", X_OK) == 0) { if (check_elf ("/usr/sbin/sshd")) verbose_exec (-121, "/sbin/service", "/sbin/service", "sshd", "condrestart"); } It wants to telinit u (to avoid unclean shutdown) and condrestart sshd (if both exists and it isn't inside of a chroot and the corresponding init is running and be able to handle telinit u and service sshd condrestart has also chance of working. If this changed somehow with systemd, it needs to be tweaked. Jakub
# service sshd stop Stopping sshd (via systemctl): [ OK ] # service sshd condrestart Restarting sshd (via systemctl): Job failed. See system logs and 'systemctl status' for details. [FAILED]
If the service is not running while you run "service $foo condrestart" or systemd equalent the "systemctl try-restart $foo.service" it will always fail. See relevant restart/reload section in man systemctl for what you expected to happened there
While systemctl can behave any way it likes, service ought to stay compatible with older service implementations and not to fail condrestart if the service is not running.
If the point is to handle 'condrestart' as an option for compatibility, then it should probably have the same semantics.
What is expected to happen here? The condrestart is behaving exactly as it did before. SSH has not been ported to nativity systemd service file yet so it executes the old init scripts So if you turn off the ssh service in F14 and then do service ssh condrestart it will fail exactly the same way. ( as expected of it ) The update is doing exectly what it supposed try to restart the service after the update and if is not running failing ( you dont want to start turning on service that have been turned off or aren running for some other reason). If you expect any kind of other behaviour I suggest you fix the condrestart is being done in etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd ?
On F14, I see: # service sshd status openssh-daemon (pid 1836) is running... # service sshd condrestart; echo $? Stopping sshd: [ OK ] Starting sshd: [ OK ] 0 # service sshd stop Stopping sshd: [ OK ] # service sshd condrestart; echo $? 0 In /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd condrestart starts with: rh_status_q || exit 0 so it is going to return 0 if it is not running already.
Yup working as it ought to be. If it is expected that it ought to be restarted regardless of it was running before or not you would use service ssh force-reload but that is something I expect that you dont want to do since you will start a service that could have been turned off for one reason or another... From my perspective that code snippet that was posted in comment 1 should be fixed to check first if the relevant service is running then proceeds to condrestart or do something else...
condrestart is restart if it was already running before, otherwise do nothing. In the former case, it should succeed as command if the restart succeeded, in the latter case it should just succeed. From the start of this bugreport it looks like it fails in the latter case, which is incorrect implementation of condrestart.
systemd git will no longer return an error in "systemctl condrestart" if the service isn't running right now. This should resolve the issue. Upload to F15 will follow shortly.

The non fatal error still happens with glibc-2.13.90-8.x86_64 while upgrading from F15 to Rawhide. My system is usable but I got various errors like not being able to access software sources in PackageKit, Control-Center won't open when I click on System Settings, etc
Hi, glibc-2.13.90-9 also shows the above non fatal error. Running service sshd condrestart is not the problem (Restarting sshd (via systemctl) OK). So there seems to be an (-other) issue with glibc it self. When updating using yum I saw elf errors related to atlas-3.8.3-18-fc14. This package is installed in the KDE nightly spin[1].

Hi, Reinstalling glibc(-common) solved the issue. Sorry for the noise :-$ Martin Kho
