[opensuse-packaging] ... testing for pre/postinstall scripts that break patchrpms
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? Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

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)

The patchrpm check runs the scripts with the '-e' shell option to make them abort when a command fails. This is done to catch syntax errors in the scriptlets. Thus, commands that might fail need an extra " || true". Also, constructs like foo && bar are bad (the scripts aborts when foo fails), use if foo ; then bar ; fi instead.
