Bug 16567

Which version of rpm are you using? 4.12.90 (which existed only a short time in core/release) or 4.12.0.1?

If you are using the first mentioned, please disable core/updates_testing and downgrade rpm [1] to 4.12.0.1 and see if the issue still happens.

[1] urpmi --downgrade rpm

I'm a little confused.  The current version in cauldron (just synced) is mercurial-server-1.3-11.mga5.noarch.rpm, and I don't have any of the testing repositories enabled.

However, I removed the package on one machine and reinstalled it, and no extra characters appeared in the progress bar.

So I thought perhaps it was mercurial and not mercurial-server, so I removed mercurial-3.4.2-2.mga6.x86_64 and installed the current cauldron mercurial-3.5-1.mga6.x86_64.rpm, and the error didn't appear there either.

Closing as invalid.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => INVALID

OK, round two....

mercurial-server (bug 16567) has a postinstall script with a message to stdout
rpm -qp --scripts mercurial-server-1.3-11.mga5.noarch.rpm
...
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):

This message should be put either in a README in doc, or in a README.urpmi.

done in Cauldron, I don't think it need an update in mga5 , as it is a small cosmetic bug

This appears not to be specific to mercurial.  I'll enter another bug report for this once I get more information, but here's the gist...

I have a post-fresh-install script that (among other things) basically reinstalls all of the packages that were installed on a previous system, and the script runs with ">file 2>&1".  It was in the course of running this that I got the error reported here.

Since, at the lowest level, C libraries do stream I/O a byte at a time, it could be argued that this is to be expected if output is being written to stdout and stderr in tandem without doing a flush() after each line.

However, if urpmi is internally catching stdout and stderr, this should happen well before the ">file 2>&1" comes into play.

I mention this because on a just-performed run of this script had several instances of this error for other packages, e. g.

Notice the corruption towards the bottom.  In other cases it is more pronounced:

"pear.symfony.com" succeeded

So this could be a generic urpmi bug in how stdout/stderr are captured.  Or, it could just be a result of urpmi doing byte-by-byte capture instead of caching data until a newline is seen, which of course it isn't required to do.
