[opensuse-factory] postinstall script of syslog-ng-3.9.1-16.2.i586.rpm failed
Hi, Recently I started to see syslog-ng package failing on Tumbleweed. Looking at the logs I see, that the packages are generated, but at the end: [ 359s] ... testing for pre/postinstall scripts that are not idempotent [ 359s] Updating /etc/sysconfig/syslog ... [ 359s] chown: invalid user: 'news:news' [ 359s] postinstall script of syslog-ng-3.9.1-16.2.i586.rpm failed The offending part of the syslog-ng post install script seems to be: " test -f var/log/news && mv -f var/log/news var/log/news.bak mkdir -p -m 0750 var/log/news chown news:news var/log/news touch var/log/news/news.crit; chmod 640 var/log/news/news.crit chown news:news var/log/news/news.crit touch var/log/news/news.err; chmod 640 var/log/news/news.err chown news:news var/log/news/news.err touch var/log/news/news.notice; chmod 640 var/log/news/news.notice chown news:news var/log/news/news.notice " Question: what is the correct fix here? Is "news" completely depreciated? In that case I can remove this section completely. Or the files are necessary, but news was removed from the password file and I should just remove the chown part?

No, you need to however require the user and group news now in Factory. I SRed 484847 Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

In what case would you need it for %post? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

For the same as in %pre: if you call chown news:news, the user and group must be there. pre/post are here important for the solver, in which order he has to install and deinstall packages.

No, you misunderstand. Didn't you read the part I quoted? I responded only to the part: «Is "news" completely depreciated?» - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
