Description of problem: When try to build other packages that require ghc in mock, a couple of them can't be compile due to hsc2hs not found error. ghc-6.12.3-5.el6 and ghc-6.12.3-6.el6 (I think) in %post and %preun sections in spec file as below: %post # Alas, GHC, Hugs, and nhc all come with different set of tools in # addition to a runFOO: # # * GHC: hsc2hs # * Hugs: hsc2hs, cpphs # * nhc: cpphs # # Therefore it is currently not possible to use --slave below to form # link groups under a single name 'runhaskell'. Either these tools # should be disentangled from the Haskell implementations, or all # implementations should have the same set of tools. *sigh* update-alternatives --install %{_bindir}/runhaskell runhaskell \ %{_bindir}/runghc 500 update-alternatives --install %{_bindir}/hsc2hs hsc2hs \ %{_bindir}/hsc2hs-ghc 500 %preun if [ "$1" = 0 ]; then update-alternatives --remove runhaskell %{_bindir}/runghc update-alternatives --remove hsc2hs %{_bindir}/hsc2hs-ghc fi So it needs update-alternatives to do the linking if I am right in fact the spec file will need to add Requires: chkconfig or else when installing ghc will have the errors as below: Non-fatal POSTIN scriptlet failure in rpm package ghc-6.12.3-6.el6.i686 /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.E4LKqM: line 13: update-alternatives: command not found /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.E4LKqM: line 15: update-alternatives: command not found warning: %post(ghc-6.12.3-6.el6.i686) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ghc-6.12.3-5.el6 ghc-6.12.3-6.el6 In fact past versions/release can have the same problem if the %post and %preun sections are the same and without chkconfig in Requires list. How reproducible: When build in mock environment where chkconfig package isn't install by default will have this issue since update-alternatives is provided by chkconfig rpm package. Like when you try to compile/build any of the packages that need hsc2hs in ghc package where ghc only has /usr/bin/hsc2hs-ghc and during %post section use update-alternatives to do the linking of /usr/bin/hsc2hs-ghc to hsc2hs-ghc. i.e Try to build any of the following without chkconfig rpm package install: xmonad-0.9.1-6.1.el6 ghc-X11-1.5.0.0-5.el6 hscolour-1.16-1.el6 The list goes on... ... Thanks. Kindest regards, Giam Teck Choon
I see - just wondering why your buildroot doesn't have chkconfig installed. The examples you listed all build in koji for el6... Anyway (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Alternatives) you're quite right and this also applies to Fedora even! So I will update there first... For some nasty technical reasons I can't rebuild easily for EPEL6 so I may wait with it until I move it to ghc7.
Thank you very much for your good bug report. This should get fixed in ghc-7.0.4-40.fc17 in rawhide. This fix should gradually get backported to current releases. (I guess it is not so urgent since noone else has reported this problem before.:)
Thanks for your prompt reply and noted about the fix and backport.
Moving to Fedora to track there.
BTW I just checked the Koji build logs and chkconfig is installed by default in the buildroot for both fedora and epel. Anyway going to close this since it is fixed in rawhide now and may get backported as appropriate to current releases.
