Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 90699
post scriplet fails
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:53:40 EDT
Description of problem: While I was updating from RHL7.3->RHL9 with apt (yea, I know, not supported by RH, but read on...), fontilus gave following error: 60:fontilus ########################################### [ 9%] /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.38771: line 1: gconftool-2: command not found /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.38771: line 2: gconftool-2: command not found error: execution of %post scriptlet from fontilus-0.3-4 failed, exit status 127 Probably caused by the fact that also RPM containing gconftool-2 was about to be updated after fontilus during the same "rpm -Uvh" run. This caused fontilus to be misconfigured. This might well happen also with up2date/rpm -Fvh/yum/etc. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All, I presume. How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1.update fontilus and RPMs containing gconftool-2 in the same run Actual results: error messages are shown. Expected results: no errors printed. Additional info: Probably not critical but worth fixing IMHO.
It needs a prereq on gconf2. But the fontilus package will soon be removed since its integrated with control center anyway.
Red Hat apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We do want to make sure that no important bugs slip through the cracks. Red Hat Linux 7.3 and Red Hat Linux 9 are no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. They are maintained by the Fedora Legacy project (http://www.fedoralegacy.org/) for security updates only. If this is a security issue, please reassign to the 'Fedora Legacy' product in bugzilla. Please note that Legacy security update support for these products will stop on December 31st, 2006. If this is not a security issue, please check if this issue is still present in a current Fedora Core release. If so, please change the product and version to match, and check the box indicating that the requested information has been provided. If you are currently still running Red Hat Linux 7.3 or 9, please note that Fedora Legacy security update support for these products will stop on December 31st, 2006. You are strongly advised to upgrade to a current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable. Some information on which option may be right for you is available at http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/. Any bug still open against Red Hat Linux 7.3 or 9 at the end of 2006 will be closed 'CANTFIX'. Again, if this bug still exists in a current release, or is a security issue, please change the product as necessary. We thank you for your help, and apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point.
