Summary: Review Request: kismet -- A WLAN detector, sniffer and IDS https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=165314 ------- Additional Comments From j.w.r.degoede@xxxxxx 2006-05-11 10:23 EST ------- (In reply to comment #20) > > *These: > > Requires(pre): %crontabdir > > Requires(postun): %crontabdir > > ... are required resp. the best current way to express: > > * the directory must exist before the package places files into it.

So I tried fixing it, unfortunatly this doesn't seem to help, rpm bug? See: Bug #190878 .
