Description Ville Kummu 2012-01-11 08:50:57 UTC
Description of problem:
Upgrading netdisco RPM from EPEL seems to lose all the files under /usr/share/netdisco, thus breaking the installation completely. Easy fix seems to be rpm -e netdisco and reinstall, but if people are using autoupdates their installation will break down.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.1-1

How reproducible:
Reproducable

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install netdisco 1.0-2 RPM from EPEL
2. Upgrade to netdisco 1.1-1 using "yum update netdisco"
3. check /usr/share/netdisco files, they are missing!
  
Actual results:
Files missing from /usr/share/netdisco

Expected results:
Files are in /usr/share/netdisco

Additional info:
Netdisco 1.1-1 also requires perl-SNMP-Info 2.04 or newer, but it's not marked as dependency, this should also be fixed in the spec file. If you run "yum update" the dependency will be solved automatically, but if you only update netdisco it will not.

Comment 1 Ville Kummu 2012-01-11 12:16:38 UTC
Actually it seems that the problem is this:

%postun
%__rm -rf %{_datadir}/%{name}
