Summary: Info documentation fails to install into directory https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=520971 Summary: Info documentation fails to install into directory Product: Fedora Version: 11 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: ocaml AssignedTo: gemi@xxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx QAContact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: gemi@xxxxxxxxxx, rjones@xxxxxxxxxx, fedora-ocaml-list@xxxxxxxxxx Classification: Fedora Description of problem: After installing the ocaml-docs package, ocaml is not listed in the info directory when I run "info". Here's the scriptlet that tries to install the info documentation: $ rpm -q --scripts ocaml-docs postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): /sbin/install-info \ --entry "* ocaml: (ocaml). The Objective Caml compiler and programming environment" \ --section "Programming Languages" \ /usr/share/info/ocaml.info \ /usr/share/info/dir 2>/dev/null || : Since /usr/share/info/ocaml.info is not an existing file (the file is /usr/share/info/ocaml.info.gz), install-info misinterprets the --section option as a "--section R SEC" style option. install-info then crashes while processing that option, due to a separate bug which I reported upstream: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?27376 With that bug fixed, install-info would still fail with an error message that is suppressed by the scriptlet. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): info-4.13a-2.fc11.i586 ocaml-docs-3.11.0-3.fc11.i586 How reproducible: I got the crash every time I tried, but I'm hesitant to generalize because behavior could depend on the layout produced by malloc at runtime. Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install ocaml-docs 2. info Actual results: The following crash during "yum install ocaml-docs": *** glibc detected *** /sbin/install-info: realloc(): invalid pointer: 0x097e48e8 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/libc.so.6[0x5c72a1] /lib/libc.so.6(realloc+0x290)[0x5ccaf0] /lib/libc.so.6(argz_append+0x33)[0x5d4fb3] /lib/libc.so.6(argz_add+0x3f)[0x5d503f] /sbin/install-info[0x804b0d9] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6)[0x56da66] /sbin/install-info[0x80491e1] ======= Memory map: ======== 0017a000-0017b000 r-xp 0017a000 00:00 0 [vdso] 002ab000-002cb000 r-xp 00000000 fd:02 3181963 /lib/ld-2.10.1.so 002cb000-002cc000 r--p 0001f000 fd:02 3181963 /lib/ld-2.10.1.so 002cc000-002cd000 rw-p 00020000 fd:02 3181963 /lib/ld-2.10.1.so 00557000-006c2000 r-xp 00000000 fd:02 3181970 /lib/libc-2.10.1.so 006c2000-006c4000 r--p 0016b000 fd:02 3181970 /lib/libc-2.10.1.so 006c4000-006c5000 rw-p 0016d000 fd:02 3181970 /lib/libc-2.10.1.so 006c5000-006c8000 rw-p 006c5000 00:00 0 008e4000-0090e000 r-xp 00000000 fd:02 3181941 /lib/libgcc_s-4.4.1-20090729.so.1 0090e000-0090f000 rw-p 00029000 fd:02 3181941 /lib/libgcc_s-4.4.1-20090729.so.1 00c82000-00c94000 r-xp 00000000 fd:02 3182285 /lib/libz.so.1.2.3 00c94000-00c95000 rw-p 00011000 fd:02 3182285 /lib/libz.so.1.2.3 08048000-08051000 r-xp 00000000 fd:02 3182403 /sbin/install-info 08051000-08052000 rw-p 00008000 fd:02 3182403 /sbin/install-info 097e4000-09805000 rw-p 097e4000 00:00 0 [heap] b7ef9000-b80f9000 r--p 00000000 fd:02 3183628 /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive b80f9000-b80fb000 rw-p b80f9000 00:00 0 bfcb9000-bfcce000 rw-p bffeb000 00:00 0 [stack] /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.xcb4Ih: line 5: 9241 Aborted /sbin/install-info --entry "* ocaml: (ocaml).
