Re: [opensuse] RPM 4.4 and file conflicts --RELOADED
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: example [EMAIL PROTECTED] /root # rpm -qf \ /lib/modules/2.6.16.13-4-smp/kernel/drivers/infiniband/core/ib_core.ko kernel-smp-2.6.16.13-4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /root # rpm -V kernel-smp-2.6.16.13-4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /root # rpm -qlpv fileconflictstest-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r--1 rootroot84232 Jun 21 16:30 /lib/modules/2.6.16.13-4-smp/kernel/drivers/infiniband/core/ib_core.ko [EMAIL PROTECTED] /root # rpm -ihv --fileconflicts fileconflictstest-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm Preparing...### [100%] 1:fileconflictstest ### [100%] [EMAIL PROTECTED] /root # rpm -qf \ /lib/modules/2.6.16.13-4-smp/kernel/drivers/infiniband/core/ib_core.ko kernel-smp-2.6.16.13-4 fileconflictstest-1.0-1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /root # rpm -V kernel-smp-2.6.16.13-4 S.5T /lib/modules/2.6.16.13-4-smp/kernel/drivers/infiniband/core/ib_core.ko [EMAIL PROTECTED] /root # rpm -e fileconflictstest [EMAIL PROTECTED] /root # rpm -V kernel-smp-2.6.16.13-4 S.5T /lib/modules/2.6.16.13-4-smp/kernel/drivers/infiniband/core/ib_core.ko /example 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.

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:

BuildRoot: %_tmppath/%name-%version-%build

mkdir -p %{buildroot}/etc/dumb;

You might try with that.

You might try with that.

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
module.

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]. 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. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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

No, there's no change in the file conflict handling. Why do you think there is? 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. If so, the man page of RPM says nothing whatsoever of the change in behaviour, only an rpm --help does. There is no warning of this (at least imho) major change, and to the worse. Put diplomatically, I would call this a severe feature regression. Put undiplomatically, I am still looking for an expression reflecting my true emotions toward this. Your opinions are not applicable here because your assumption was wrong. Then the documentation is wrong, along with the help text, isn't it? Can anybody comment on this? Perhaps give something like a reason? Sorry, I can't reason about your nightmares. 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.
