Hi,

I have a package that at some stage replaces a directory with a symlink. RPM does not like that. See

https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1022710

After some searching I have come up with the following solution, adding the following lines to the spec file:

+%pre +# boo#1022710: fix upgrade from 13.2 to Leap +# liberation has become a symlink in Leap and RPM does not like to overwrite a directory with a symlink +if [ -d %{_datadir}/%{name}/fonts/liberation ] && \ + ! [ -L %{_datadir}/%{name}/fonts/liberation ]; then + rm -rf %{_datadir}/%{name}/fonts/liberation + ln -s %{_datadir}/fonts/truetype/ %{_datadir}/%{name}/fonts/liberation +fi +

I have already prepared a SR:

https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/453602

Before accepting that SR I would like to ask you: is this solution correct? If not, what should I do then?

Thanks,

Cor

Yes, sorry. It is in the bug report. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447156#c28 I added the following lines: # boo#1022710: fix upgrade from 13.2 to Leap # liberation has become a symlink in Leap and RPM does not like to overwrite a directory with a symlink %pretrans -p <lua> st = posix.stat("%{_datadir}/%{name}/fonts/liberation") if st and st.type == "directory" then os.execute("rm -rf %{_datadir}/%{name}/fonts/liberation") end Cor -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
