RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Richard W.M. Jones 2011-08-18 14:13:39 UTC 
Description of problem:

This is not very serious, but I'm just noting it anyway.  When
upgrading from spice-server 0.8.0-1.el6.x86_64 -> 0.8.2-3.el6.x86_64
RPM gives this non-fatal error:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

The error appears to be in the %postun scriptlet of
spice-server 0.8.0-1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:

?

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade from spice-server 0.8.0-1.el6.x86_64 to a later version.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

Non-fatal error.

Expected results:

There should be no errors or warnings when upgrading an RPM package.

Additional info:
Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2011-08-18 14:14:45 UTC 
After the upgrade, /etc/ld.so.conf.d/kernel-2.6.32-188.el6.x86_64.conf
contains:

# This directive teaches ldconfig to search in nosegneg subdirectories
# and cache the DSOs there with extra bit 1 set in their hwcap match
# fields.  In Xen guest kernels, the vDSO tells the dynamic linker to
# search in nosegneg subdirectories and to match this extra hwcap bit
# in the ld.so.cache file.
hwcap 1 nosegneg

I don't know what was in this file before.
Comment 3 Andrew Cathrow 2011-08-18 14:37:20 UTC 
Rich,

Is this really a bug on spice-server or is it just 'luck' that spice-server was the next rpm to call ldconfig

Regardless of the root cause, should we be trapping that error and returnign success anyway?
Comment 4 Richard W.M. Jones 2011-08-18 14:45:02 UTC 
Actually yes you are right ...

# /sbin/ldconfig 
/sbin/ldconfig: /etc/ld.so.conf.d/kernel-2.6.32-188.el6.x86_64.conf:6: hwcap index 0 already defined as nosegneg

Odd one though.  This is a completely ordinary RHEL 6.1
install.  Xen has never been near it.
Comment 5 Andrew Cathrow 2011-08-18 14:50:22 UTC 
Before we close it though, would it be better for the post script to catch that (non fatal error) and return success?
Comment 6 Richard W.M. Jones 2011-08-18 14:55:14 UTC 
I don't know.  The way that spice-server is doing it now
is the standard way:
