And I will take a look at it. This is a bug in rpm's handling of %pretrans dependencies. I'll try to get it fixed tomorrow, BUT this also does point out a problem in the package: %pretrans scripts can almost never in real life be /bin/sh scripts, because on initial installation, at the point where %pretrans scripts get executed there is no shell! Or anything else for that matter. The only kind of %pretrans script that always work are ones using the embedded Lua interpreter, ie '%pretrans -p <lua>'. External interpreters in %pretrans are /supposed/ to work in upgrade scenarios (barring this bug, duh), but as in practise you can never guarantee a package is only ever applied as an update on an already running system, %pretrans scriptlets using /bin/sh or such external interpreter are not usable. - Panu - -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
