Description of problem: The %postinstall of libvirt-client was written in F14, and never updated to F15/F16 systemd days. Therefore, it is calling old command lines, which issue some scary-looking noise during the course of installation via yum. Meanwhile, the libvirt package %postinstall issues a failure message about cgconfig, now that cgroups are managed differently. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-client-0.9.4-1.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install libvirt-client 2. 3. Actual results: Installing : libvirt-client-0.9.4-1.fc16.x86_64 14/15 Note: This output shows SysV services only and does not include native systemd services. SysV configuration data might be overridden by native systemd configuration. Installing : libvirt-0.9.4-1.fc16.x86_64 15/15 error reading information on service cgconfig: No such file or directory Expected results: These two packages should successfully install without leaking either message. Additional info: Found during virt test day https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-09-15_Virtualization

0.9.5 now includes this, which needs to be backported to F15: commit ecd8725c1ad001fdd11f6c680ef0c20421e65a9b Author: Eric Blake <eblake> Date: Fri Sep 16 16:40:25 2011 -0600 spec: silence warnings when installing in F16 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738725 documents that 'yum install libvirt' in Fedora 16 is rather noisy. This fixes the problems. * libvirt.spec.in (%post client): Silence chkconfig warning about SysV services. (%post) [with_cgconfig]: Drop for Fedora 15 and newer, where systemd does this automatically.

Moving back to POST - F16 needs to include this patch for virt-preview to work in F15 (otherwise, virt-preview will fail to set up cgroups, since F15 does not benefit from systemd doing it automatically): https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-September/msg00997.html

The issue is still exist under F16 stable version. libvirt-0.9.6-2.fc16 still show the same warning message.

Created attachment 542707 [details] Screenshot with problem Problem have still persist. See screenshot.
Reopening. There have been some more spec patches upstream in the meantime; I'll see if any of them fix the issue, or if there is yet another upstream patch needed.
Found the bug. https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-December/msg00418.html Commit ecd8725 tried to silence a spurious warning on the initial libvirt install, and commit ba6cbb1 tried to fix up the logic to the correct Fedora version, but the warning was still present due to a logic bug: since %{fedora} and %{rhel} are never simulatanously set, then 0%{rhel} <= 6 made the %if always true. Checking for minimum versions (via >=) is okay, but checking for maximum versions (via <=) requires a prerequisite test that the platform being tested is non-zero. Also fix a bogus setting of with_libxl (although we previously hard-code with_libxl to 0 for rhel earlier in the file, so this was not as severe a bug). * libvirt.spec.in (with_cgconfig): Don't enable cgconfig on F16. --- How embarrassing that I've botched this patch twice; I didn't notice the botch because 'yum reinstall libvirt' is not an initial install, so it didn't trigger the scriptlet in question. It took a full 'yum erase libvirt' followed by 'yum install libvirt' to prove this patch (finally) gets it right.
This needs backporting to F15 and F16. commit 3b95f284f19d2e43daa32a87cd10eaf42ea8bb4e Author: Eric Blake <eblake> Date: Thu Dec 8 13:32:37 2011 -0700 spec: fix logic bug in deciding to turn on cgconfig

Somehow this bz wasn't automatically moved from POST to MODIFIED, even though it did get the auto-notice in Comment 17. Manually moving to MODIFIED...
