Description of Problem: even with no other yp packages installed, get error when uninstalled ypserv Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: Every Time Steps to Reproduce: 1.#rpm -e yp-tools ypbind 2.#rpm -e ypserv Actual Results: error reading information on service ypserv: No such file or directory error: execution of %trigger scriptlet from ypserv-2.3-2 failed, exit status 1 Expected Results: removal of package Additional Information: I reinstalled ypserv from the cd just to make sure #rpm -ivh --force ypserv-2.3-2.i386.rpm #rpm -e ypserv same results
Must be one of these triggers: %triggerpostun -- ypserv <= ypserv-1.3.0-2 /sbin/chkconfig --add ypserv %triggerpostun -- yppasswd /sbin/chkconfig --add yppasswdd but none of them should be executed when the ypser 2.3 package is removed. jbj, i believe you added the triggers, any idea what's up here?
Boy there's a blast from the past. On my 1st day at Red Hat (5.1, 5/98), I was asked to add triggers to work around some busted packages in Red Hat 5.0. This crap ain't been needed for quite awhile AFAIK. I'd suggest looking carefully at whether these triggers are needed anymore, and remove if not. And add --notriggers to erase the old packages.
They don't seem to be needed anymore. So i can just remove them.
Fixed in 2.3-3
