Hello folks,
I've realized that if the %install section contains a command that reverses the
exit code from success to failure via !, the build does not fail, but it
proceeds. In other sections, the build fails. E.g. this:
%install
! true
Does not fail the build.
But this does:
%install
false
As well as this:
%build
! true
Any idea why this is happening? Is it a bug, or a feature? This happens on
Fedora 35 locally as well as Rawhide in Koji/mock.
All of the following (applied separately) fail the RPM build:
%prep
false
Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.A1K5K0
+ umask 022
+ cd /home/churchyard/rpmbuild/BUILD
+ false
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.A1K5K0 (%prep)
%build
false
Executing(%build): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.YR6FiX
+ umask 022
+ cd /home/churchyard/rpmbuild/BUILD
+ false
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.YR6FiX (%build)
%install
false
Executing(%install): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.OapPfB
+ umask 022
+ cd /home/churchyard/rpmbuild/BUILD
+ '[' /home/churchyard/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/reproducer-0-0.x86_64 '!=' / ']'
+ rm -rf /home/churchyard/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/reproducer-0-0.x86_64
++ dirname /home/churchyard/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/reproducer-0-0.x86_64
+ mkdir -p /home/churchyard/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT
+ mkdir /home/churchyard/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/reproducer-0-0.x86_64
+ false

%check
false
Executing(%check): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.CnEWIO
+ umask 022
+ cd /home/churchyard/rpmbuild/BUILD
+ false

But when replaced with `! true`, %install (and %install only) succeeds:
%prep
! true
Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.ojDvj8
+ umask 022
+ cd /home/churchyard/rpmbuild/BUILD
+ true
+ RPM_EC=1
++ jobs -p
+ exit 1

%build
! true
Executing(%build): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.RTiQQH
+ umask 022
+ cd /home/churchyard/rpmbuild/BUILD
+ true
+ RPM_EC=1
++ jobs -p
+ exit 1
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.RTiQQH (%build)
%install
! true
Executing(%install): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.RczM4N
+ umask 022
+ cd /home/churchyard/rpmbuild/BUILD
+ '[' /home/churchyard/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/reproducer-0-0.x86_64 '!=' / ']'
+ rm -rf /home/churchyard/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/reproducer-0-0.x86_64
++ dirname /home/churchyard/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/reproducer-0-0.x86_64
+ mkdir -p /home/churchyard/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT
+ mkdir /home/churchyard/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/reproducer-0-0.x86_64
+ true
+ /usr/lib/rpm/check-buildroot
+ ...
+ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-python-hardlink
Executing(%check): ...
Or even:
%install
! true
echo UNREACHABLE
Executing(%install): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.nzrs6N
+ umask 022
+ cd /home/churchyard/rpmbuild/BUILD

++ dirname /home/churchyard/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/reproducer-0-0.x86_64
+ mkdir -p /home/churchyard/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT
+ mkdir /home/churchyard/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/reproducer-0-0.x86_64
+ true

Executing(%check): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.4E9WU3
+ umask 022
+ cd /home/churchyard/rpmbuild/BUILD
+ true

++ jobs -p
+ exit 1
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.4E9WU3 (%check)
What sorcery is this?
