Jan? Do we run into trouble if we set YAST_IS_RUNNING to "instsys" for the `zypper dup' command? In other words does zypper execute the rpm setup scripts (%pre, %post, %preun, %postun, and any %trigger) as YasT does is on update case? Compare with the rpm macros found in /usr/lib/rpm/suse_macros, e.g. %restart_on_update(), %stop_on_removal(), %run_permissions(), %run_suseconfig(), %run_suseconfig_fonts(), %add_start_if_needed(), %insserv_force_if_yast(). If not the variable YAST_IS_RUNNING should be set to "instsys" if zypper is used in dup mode. Otherwise we badly need an other environment variable, like INSSERVOPTS with the value "force". On the other hand, does zypper and/or libzypper use own environment variables in case of `dup' which could be checked by insserv? -- 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.

And yes your system is currently broken and can only be repaired by hand. For an update of a system with changing dependcies between boot/init scripts such errors should be ignored due to the fact that such an error is temporary upto the point where all packages are uptodate. Please note that insserv(8) does not know about simple rpm call nor YaST update nor zypper nor zyppers dup option. It has an simple option -f for ignoring if a required service is missed. Therefore this bug does not belong to me.

That is not fully correct as *all* setup scripts rely on the variable YAST_IS_RUNNING as this variable is used for the insserv and fillup rpm macros, just do `grep -rs YAST_IS_RUNNING /usr/lib/rpm/' ... this will e.g. enforce the usage of the option -f for insserv to ignore errors. This straightened the dependcy problem of(currently) not existing and therefore not enabled boot/init scripts during a full update.

Something to fix in the future.

Otherwise all package must be installed in the order of the boot/init script dependencies ... nevertheless if on an update this order change you would also run into the same problem if an old but currently installed package violate a new dependency found in a new package.

I'd strongly recommend to add proper PreRequires so the correct install/update order can be computed with RPM rules.

Even if `zypper dup' would install all packages in the order of the required boot/init script order this would not help if the order boot/init scripts of the current installed rpm packages will change during an update.

This sounds as if the current insserv dependency resolution cannot work with RPM.

This was *one* of the reasons *why* the variable YAST_IS_RUNNING enforce the option -f for insserv.

This environment is not available when just using RPM on the command line.

We have to find a way to enable insserv to know when it should ignore dependency error during (e.g. for `zypper dup' or `yast update').

What about "rpm -i" and "rpm -U" ?

It is a major feature for insserv to throw an error on a dependency error for a single rpm package (only).

IMHO, running insserv from within rpm (pre/post scripts) should only warn but not fail. Running insserv from the command line should error out in case of unfulfilled innserv dependency. -- 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.

The question remains if i should use the librpm for comparsion as /bin/sh is defined with %_buildshell and /var/tmp with %_tmppath in the rpm rc files. Currently I use hard coded path but can simply switch over to librpm (see attachment). But even if the current rpm package overwrites %_buildshell and %_tmppath in its build spec the global rc files do not fit this. -- 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.

If /etc/init.d/boot.clock or /etc/init.d/boot.setclock is missed then the bug is driver by the same behaviour of insserv: by default it does not igmore errors anymore. The current insserv from factory tries to determine if the script used for execution (the parent) is executed by rpm it ignores know errors (hopefully temorary errors). Next is that aaa_base from factory now uses /etc/init.d/boot.clock again, no /etc/init.d/boot.setclock, but /etc/init.d/boot.getclock. This should avoid that during an update there exists temporary two scripts providing both boot.clock in the LSB header. Nevertheless if the error once happened it can only be repaired with a) updating both insserv and aaa_base from factory *and* b) executing the command line

insserv boot.clock

by hand. This because the rpm post install script assumes that if the start link for boot.clock is missed the user had removed this link and therefore no new link is required.

These instructions were not enough for me to stop zypper from failing to install nscd: I had to uninstall nscd (all installed versions) and then re-install. That worked, though.

IMHO this will be fixed in the case that an update would be done on a system which was *never* affected by the insserv problem e.g. several ncsd packages installed and/or not enabled boot.clock/boot.setclock scripts also caused by insserv. -- 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.
