Created attachment 581957 [details] install.log file not found messages logged during hard drive install of F16. I used the following old-grub stanza to perform a custom fresh install of F16: title Install Fedora16 from iso 11 15:34 root (hd1,2) kernel /isolinux16/vmlinuz repo=hd:LABEL=/home1:/iso16 acpi=off processor.nocst=1 maxcpus=1 selinux=0 initrd /isolinux16/initrd.img Everything seemed to go smoothly, however: [root@localhost ~]# grep -v stall install.log warning: fontpackages-filesystem-1.44-2.fc15.noarch: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID a82ba4b7: NOKEY /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.70BdJf: line 1: /usr/sbin/update-alternatives: No such file or directory warning: %post(tomcat-servlet-3.0-api-0:7.0.26-1.fc16.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.pKiL8w: line 1: /usr/sbin/update-alternatives: No such file or directory warning: %post(tomcat-jsp-2.2-api-0:7.0.26-1.fc16.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.NaLh0X: line 3: find: command not found /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.hawg7Q: line 1: /usr/sbin/update-alternatives: No such file or directory warning: %post(tomcat-el-2.2-api-0:7.0.26-1.fc16.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 Running in chroot, ignoring request.

All the complained of files exist. I've attached install.log . I'm reluctant to try to reproduce the bug. Getting F16 installed at all was a long hard-fought struggle. I've a pentium 4 CPU on a D865GBF motherboard.
Did you have the selinux-policy-targeted package installed? I would guess this message can be ignored. Since you have SELinux disabled. If a package tried to do an SELinux activity on a disabled machine and selinux-policy-targeted package was not installed, you could see a message like this, although I am not sure what it is doing. If you look at tomcat-jsb package, is it doing SELinux stuff in its post install? rpm -q --script tomcat-jsb

SELinux is not disabled by design. I tried to take the defaults. yum and rpm say that selinux-policy-targeted is installed. selinux-policy-targeted-3.10.0-80.fc16.noarch Here is the requested script. rpm is fussy about spelling. [root@localhost ~]# rpm -q --scripts tomcat-jsp-2.2-api postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --install /usr/share/java/jsp.jar jsp \ /usr/share/java/tomcat-jsp-2.2-api.jar 20200 postuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): if [ "$1" = "0" ]; then /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --remove jsp \ /usr/share/java/tomcat-jsp-2.2-api.jar fi [root@localhost ~]# rpm -q --scripts tomcat-jsvc package tomcat-jsvc is not installed yum info '*alternatives*' tells me that galternatives is available, but not installed.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
