rename it (in %install) to e.g. dumb.ko and package that. Then duplicate 
the specfile and try -Uhv'ing.
Then try using a completely different path, e.g. /etc/dumb/ib_core.ko.

They may appear in the archives but they do _not_ make it to the list
members. Another reason many on suse-linux-e have requested that the
[SPAM] messages be removed from the archives.

You're right: I get a conflict warning. Now here's my example, where I didn't 
get one. I have used a different version of ib_core.ko. Maybe it is dependent 
on what kind of files are being packed? In this example, it is a kernel

There is no such list as "suse-technical" or "opensuse-technical". I have once 
posted a thread both on "opensuse" and on "suse-linux-e" and got a real 
discussion on the former, and a show-stopper answer on the latter. So why 
trying kind of dead horses?

For the time being, do YOU try to ignore this thread as you concede yourself 
to not being able to give a useful hint. If you don't feel addressed, don't 
feel urged to reply.

BTW: there seem to be some other folk that at least have tried to give useful 
comments, and I know who is usually reading this list, too.

For God's sake, this is getting tedious. Let the discussion please continue on 
any other mailing list if you are getting bored here because it's 
accidentally not about community life, use, fun and psycho problems...

Nevertheless it possibly would be more helpful to all if these meta-discussion 
statements like yours are replaced by a technical answer that gives me the 
feeling I am at least taken seriously. Technical discussions have always 
taken place on this list, and not only by me. If this specific list is 
considered to be a surrogate for a Freudian couch, I will unsubscribe.

I am totally uninterested WHERE these issues are discussed, only THAT they 
are. If you think you are able to give some technical answer at another 
location, don't feel hindered.

So I will stop posting anything additional to this topic because my statements 
are made and they stand as they are. Anyone is invited to reproduce the 
issues at hand himself, read documentation, source code, and the like.

Just one note: you may be able to realize that the problem at hand is neither 
a specific SUSE factory problem, nor an installation issue, nor a beta issue, 
but a generic software issue that pervades all of SUSE's stuff.

A rather 'dated' system (updated over time, orig install was 8.2):

12:51 shanghai:../RPMS/noarch # rpm -Uhv dumb-a-0-0.noarch.rpm 
Preparing...### [100%]

Question of the month: What does the pristine rpm source tarball do?
Maybe we have a patch in SUSE's rpm that reverts to the DTRT behavior.


dumb.spec:

You might try with that.

Yes. The transcript above is simply the copy of xterm window,
And the mysterious "sd" there is just an alias for "sudo" ;)

The transcript above is also from (freshly installed) SUSE 10.1. It is not so 
clean anymore, but not dramatic changes dramatic.

That's the point I am trying to make -- I don't seem to be able to observe 
this behavior on my desktop. If you check the transcript above you will see 
that rpm refuses to overwrite files unless it is given '--replacefiles' key.

Did you reproduce that yourself? And: I don't quite understand the "sd" prefix 
command.

The example I posted was with a clean, practically virgin SUSE 10.1 
installation without anything special about it. No aliases, no adaption of 
any RPM files/macros whatsover.

The same happens btw on a Redhat clone (CentOS which is just a recompilation 
of RHEL 4 Upd. 3), and a Fedora machine, because a) they invented it, b) it 
is documented in the CHANGELOG itself.

You missed my point: This is not a bug, but a newly introduced feature of rpm 
4.3.

You must be joking. I have just had a look at the archives of suse-linux-e and 
suddenly remembered why it was that I quit posting to it: 95% [SPAM].

I think it is an issue relevant enough to be discussed here, because this is 
the place where the _real_ SUSE discussions are, don't you agree?

In any case, your statement leaves me with the confirmation that the full 
implications are still not grasped by many.

Maybe it's a bug in the tagged fileindex patch. I'll have a look at

I don't think this list is the appropriate place to discuss

You should try suse-linux-e if this rpm package is already 
in use or suse-factory if it's a future product.

I know :-)

I'm just interested if rpm has a different behaviour when using -U instead
of -i in your case.

Re: [opensuse] RPM 4.4 and file conflicts --RELOADED

2006-06-22 Thread Oliver Tennert
Good morning,

the lack of reaction gives me the impression that not everyone on this list 
fully grasps the implication of the new RPM behaviour.

I (actually a colleague of mine) have construed a simple RPM package 
"fileconflictstest" which has an example file in it, in this case a kernel 
module file, which is already present in the filesystem as part of an already 
installed system, but in another version, i.e. the files are different.

BAD:

INSTALLING the "fileconflictstest" package overwrites the file without 
warning.

WORSE:
==

REMOVING the "fileconflictstest" package leaves the second version of the file 
not restoring the original file!

I.e. an "rpm -V" on the original RPM package gives an MD5 error, of course.

BRAINDEAD:
==

the switch "--fileconflicts" is dysfunctional.

Here's the proof:

Conclusion: Corrupt RPM database.

Proof enough?

Please be aware that I am not blaming SUSE & Co. for it, this is a RedHat & 
Co. invention. It is just that SUSE (as far as I can see it) seems not to be 
aware of this.

I am still lacking an adequate expression for this, but somehow a Beavis & 
Butthead quote crosses my mind, I don't know why:

"This sucks more than anything that ever sucked before."

Then the documentation is wrong, along with the help text, isn't it?

It is not my nightmares that are to be under consideration, but the change in 
default behaviour of RPM, if my assumption turns out to be right, and the 
documentation turns out to be wrong.

Because I am reading the CHANGELOG in /usr/share/doc/packages/rpm/:

[...]
4.2.2 -> 4.2.3:
- bump rpm and popt versions to insure "newer".
- change default behavior to resolve file conflicts as LIFO.
- add --fileconflicts to recover rpm traditional behavior.
[...]

That means, two RPMs with say 1 file the same in both packages will install 
without warning, the last package overwriting the file of the first.

No, there's no change in the file conflict handling. Why do you
think there is?
