Attention: rpm 4.12-alpha build bug

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Executive summary: a bug in package generation of rpm 4.12, presumably related to hardlinked files has been spotted. I've untagged 4.12 while we're investigating, some packages might need a rebuild because of this. If you haven't built packages for rawhide today, you can probably stop reading.

e2fsprogs-1.42.10-4.fc21 (builder/owner cc'd) is known to be slightly broken because of this and I've untagged that as well, a rebuild will be needed. Other packages (less than two dozen or so) *might* be affected if you've built something for rawhide in the last four hours or so, but the exact issue is not known yet so dont know...

The manifests in files missing from package payload, which rpm 4.12 will actually notice during install:

[root@localhost rpm]# rpm -Uvh --nodeps --noscripts --root /tmp/testroot ~pmatilai/Downloads/e2fsprogs-1.42.10-4.fc21.x86_64.rpm Preparing... ################################# [100%]
Updating / installing...
1:e2fsprogs-1.42.10-4.fc21 ################################# [100%]
error: unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Missing file(s)
error: e2fsprogs-1.42.10-4.fc21.x86_64: install failed

Older rpm versions will merrily install this package, but report breakage on verify: [root@localhost rpm-4.11.x]# ./rpm -Uvh --nodeps --noscripts --root /tmp/testroot ~pmatilai/Downloads/e2fsprogs-1.42.10-4.fc21.x86_64.rpm Preparing... ################################# [100%]
Updating / installing...
1:e2fsprogs-1.42.10-4.fc21 ################################# [100%]
[root@localhost rpm-4.11.x]# ./rpm -Va --nodeps --root /tmp/testroot/
missing     /usr/sbin/e2label
missing     /usr/sbin/tune2fs
[root@localhost rpm-4.11.x]#

This is bug in package generation so any thusly affected packages need to be rebuilt.
