Description of problem: Installing qemu=system-x86 triggers a warning on non-KVM capable systems. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.0-15 How reproducible: install qemu-sysem-x86 (eg, via yum update) Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum update qemu-system-x86 2. 3. Actual results: Non-fatal POSTIN scriptlet failure in rpm package 2:qemu-system-x86-1.0-15.fc18.i686 warning: %post(qemu-system-x86-2:1.0-15.fc18.i686) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 Expected results: NOTA Additional info: 0) $ rpm -q qemu-system-x86 --scripts postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): # load kvm modules now, so we can make sure no reboot is needed. # If there's already a kvm module installed, we don't mess with it sh /etc/sysconfig/modules/kvm.modules 1) $ rpm -qf /etc/sysconfig/modules/kvm.modules qemu-system-x86-1.0-15.fc18.i686 2) $ cat /etc/sysconfig/modules/kvm.modules #!/bin/sh case "$(</proc/cpuinfo)" in *vmx*) vmx=1 ;; *svm*) svm=1 ;; esac [ "$vmx" ] && modprobe -b kvm-intel >/dev/null 2>&1 [ "$svm" ] && modprobe -b kvm-amd >/dev/null 2>&1 [ "$vmx" -o "$svm" ] && modprobe -b vhost-net >/dev/null 2>&1 3) That kvm.modules script apparently needs to exit early (with a zero exit status) if both "$vmx" and "$svm" are empty.
My ability to correctly use web interfaces is apparently declining.
Should be fixed in 1.0-18.fc17 and 1.0-18.fc18.
