Description Matt Rogers 2011-07-14 18:22:25 UTC
Description of problem:

The post-install for pango uses sed, but pango does not depend on sed.  With the default install, sed will happen to be installed before pango, but when additional packages are installed, sometimes (semi-randomly based on how many packages there are), pango will be installed before sed and the pango.modules will be written to the wrong directory. The problem manifests for the customer when creating custom kickstarts.

This was fixed in RHEL 6 at https://partner-bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=593073 , and I am opening this for the fix to be included in RHEL5 as well.

RHEL 5.6's version of pango does not list sed as a dependency.

# rpm -q --requires pango| grep sed
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1

# rpm -q pango
pango-1.14.9-8.el5_6.2
