RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Johnny Hughes 2013-02-15 12:09:24 UTC
Description of problem:
Installing bacula-storage-mysql-5.0.0-7.el6.x86_64 sets a symlink
/usr/sbin/dbcheck -> /etc/alternatives/bacula-bscan
This is wrong and causes various malfunctions, such as the script make_catalog_backup.pl failing with a confusing error message claiming that -B was an invalid option for the dbcheck command.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install bacula-director-mysql
2. yum install bacula-storage-mysql
3. ls -l /usr/sbin/dbcheck

Additional Info:
Installing bacula-director-mysql creates the correct symlink:
/usr/sbin/dbcheck -> /etc/alternatives/bacula-dbcheck
Installing bacula-storage-mysql should leave that alone and create the symlink:
/usr/sbin/bscan -> /etc/alternatives/bacula-bscan
The problem appears to be caused by a typo in the postinstall scriptlet of package bacula-storage-mysql which says "--slave /usr/sbin/dbcheck" instead of "--slave /usr/sbin/bscan".
