[opensuse-factory] SuSEconfig apparent hang
Whilst doing update or software installation in YaST, I was getting an apparent hang during SuSEconfig of the tetex module - it has got stuck there for around 8 hours and counting until I killed SuSEconfig. While YaST was still updating packages, I tried installing another RPM and got a message that said I should "rm /var/lock/SuSEconfig-is-running". After doing that SuSEconfig produced the following messages:- kpsestat: /etc/texmf/ls-R: Value too large for defined data type kpsestat: /etc/texmf/ls-R: Value too large for defined data type kpsestat: /etc/texmf/ls-R: Value too large for defined data type kpsestat: /etc/texmf/ls-R: Value too large for defined data type # l /etc/texmf/ total 43985423 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 200 2007-03-10 07:19 ./ drwxr-xr-x 132 root root 10392 2007-03-16 17:12 ../ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 72 2007-02-23 18:31 dvips/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 44997120000 2007-03-08 13:04 ls-R <<=== drwx------ 2 root root 48 2007-03-10 07:23 .lsR.d20218/ drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 168 2007-02-23 18:31 tex/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 176 2007-02-26 11:42 web2c/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 72 2007-02-26 11:42 xdvi/ Surprisingly a "ls-R" file that took up over half of my remaining disk space.

Hi,
Strange, perhaps something that occurred during updates.
I observed the same (SuSEconfig.tetex running for hours like crazy and eating up all the disk space), but it's probably not worth debugging it because tetex will be replaced. This should be re-checked when the replacement package is available. In any case, it can only be a bug in the tetex SuSEconfig module or one of the programs used by it, and not in SuSEconfig itself.

The problem that I got was a loop, when I complete the installation of some rpm packages: ########################################### [100%] insserv: There is a loop between service cupsd and smbfs insserv: There is a loop between service cupsd and smbfs insserv: There is a loop between service cupsd and smbfs insserv: There is a loop between service cupsd and smbfs insserv: There is a loop between service cupsd and smbfs insserv: There is a loop between service cupsd and smbfs ########################################### [100%] insserv: There is a loop between service cupsd and smbfs insserv: There is a loop between service cupsd and smbfs insserv: There is a loop between service cupsd and smbfs insserv: There is a loop between service cupsd and smbfs insserv: There is a loop between service cupsd and smbfs insserv: There is a loop between service cupsd and smbfs ########################################### [100%] insserv: There is a loop between service cupsd and smbfs insserv: There is a loop between service cupsd and smbfs insserv: There is a loop between service cupsd and smbfs insserv: There is a loop between service cupsd and smbfs insserv: There is a loop between service cupsd and smbfs insserv: There is a loop between service cupsd and smbfs Regards --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

This was a bug in coreutils (su) which is fixed already in the most recent version. Robert -- Robert Schiele Dipl.-Wirtsch.informatiker mailto:rschiele@gmail.com "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur."

I've not had a chance to check, but the file has not increased. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 631 2007-03-17 02:33 ls-R Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
