Autobuild fails my package with the following error: ... testing for pre/postinstall scripts that break patchrpms postinstall script of <package>.rpm failed
Can someone tell me what this might mean? That doesn't mean that the %post fails during a normal installation, right? But instead, some inspection of the script determined that it's not compatible with patchrpms?
Any pointers on tracking down the problem?
most likely these issues are about packages that try to modify their own files in the postinstall script, especially if these files were not marked as %config. -- with kind regards (mit freundlichem Grinsen), Ruediger Oertel (ro@novell.com,ro@suse.de,bugfinder@t-online.de) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Linux Fatou 2.6.23.1-6-default #1 SMP 2007/10/19 20:37:48 UTC x86_64 Key fingerprint = 17DC 6553 86A7 384B 53C5 CA5C 3CE4 F2E7 23F2 B417 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg)
