Description of problem: attempting to install rpcbind , i get this error: Running Transaction Error in PREIN scriptlet in rpm package rpcbind-0.2.0-16.fc17.i686 error: %pre(rpcbind-0.2.0-16.fc17.i686) scriptlet failed, exit status 6 Verifying : rpcbind-0.2.0-16.fc17.i686 1/1 Failed: rpcbind.i686 0:0.2.0-16.fc17 Complete! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: attempting to install nfs-utils, i get: ** Found 2 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows: 1:nfs-utils-1.2.6-0.fc18.i686 has missing requires of rpcbind 3:ypbind-1.35-2.fc18.i686 has missing requires of rpcbind
I'm getting this error on F17 as well. It's preventing me from updating nfs-utils, since nfs-utils-1:1.2.6-4.fc17 wants rpcbind. "%pre(rpcbind-0.2.0-16.fc17.i686) scriptlet failed, exit status 6"
I manually ran the code in the %pre script: # getent passwd rpc | cut -d: -f 3 (shows nothing) # /usr/sbin/groupadd -o -g 32 rpc # /usr/sbin/useradd -o -l -c "Rpcbind Daemon" -d /var/lib/rpcbind -g 32 -M -s /sbin/nologin -u 32 rpc And then I could install rpcbind with yum. I'm not sure why the %pre script fails in RPM, but succeeds when I run the code manually in a root shell.
I was able to reproduce: Updating : 3:ypbind-1.36-6.fc17.x86_64 98/217 /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.5FWr5L: line 7: fg: no job control
This seem to be fixed. Please reopen if not.
