%postun %run_suseconfig -m xdm Great! This script no longer exists due to a request to remove it. Fixed in xgl for 10.2, but this won't help since %postun of xgl for 10.1 is called during an update.
Rudi, any idea how to fix this issue? Do we need a hack for SuSEconfig to ignore requests for running SuSEconfig.xdm? Maybe for all SuSEconfig scripts, which no longer exist? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

When this came up before with banshee, we tried releasing an update to it for older products. Ouch! Looks like it's still a good idea to end up each %p* section with "exit 0". :-(

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216982 ------- Comment #7 from ro@novell.com 2006-11-01 15:42 MST ------- bad luck, changing SuSEconfig will not help. %run_suseconfig(m:) \ %{!-m:echo -e "\\nERROR: missing parameter for macro run_suseconfig\\n" ; exit 1 ; } \ if test "$YAST_IS_RUNNING" != "instsys" ; then \ if test -x /sbin/SuSEconfig -a -f /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.%{-m*} ; then \ /sbin/SuSEconfig --module %{-m*} \ else \ echo -e "\\nERROR: SuSEconfig or requested SuSEconfig module not present!\\n" ; exit 1 \ fi \ fi \ %nil that means: the package will always do "exit 1" if SuSEconfig.xdm does not exist. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216982 ------- Comment #8 from amantia@kde.org 2006-11-02 00:37 MST ------- What about providing a dummy SuSEconfig.xdm with 10.2 and remove it as soon as the new xgl package is installed (in its pre or post inst section). This way the old one can find it, while as soon as the new one is installed it will not pollute the system anymore. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216982 ------- Comment #9 from andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de 2006-11-02 00:45 MST ------- This is not as easy as it sounds because the %postun scriptlet of the uninstalled package is the last one to be executed in the transaction. The scriptlets are executed in this order: %pre of new package %post of new package %preun of old package %postun of old package Don't ask me why, but that's the way rpm likes to do it. Errors in %postun scriplets are therefore basically unfixable. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216982 ------- Comment #10 from amantia@kde.org 2006-11-02 00:52 MST ------- That's bad, but I think the cause is not lost completely. ;-) Yes, this is a hack, but what about this: - provide dummy SuSEconfig.xdm - update to the xgl package will work, SuSEconfig.xdm is not removed - in the first update for xgl (well, if there will be any) remove SuSEconfig.xdm. Should work now, as the current (already 10.2) version of xgl doesn't require SuSEconfig.xdm anymore in %postun Well, I'm not a packager, so maybe they will come up with a better idea, but I think errors during update are quite bad. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
