Bug 19082

Assigning to all packagers collectively as numlock has no registered maintainer.

Assignee: bugsquad => pkg-bugs

I can confirm something fishy with numlock, as:

# urpmi numlock

[...]
Warning: Problems encountered when activating services.
  Please check and enable manually if necessary.
  Service units affected: numlock.service
service numlock does not support chkconfig


# urpme numlock

Bonjour



Numlock ne fonctionne toujours pas.
Le service numlock n'existe toujours pas dans le MCC.
Numlock ne se désinstalle pas dans le MCC : la manip se fait mais numlocks reste installé.


Effacement de numlock dans Mcc donne ceci en console :

getting lock on urpmi
getting exclusive lock on rpm
transaction créée pour l'installation sur / (remove=1, install=0, upgrade=0)
le service numlock ne prend pas en charge chkconfig
erreur : %preun(numlock-2.1.2-12.mga6.x86_64) scriptlet échoué, état de sortie 1

Effacement de numlock en console donne ceci :

It would be good to add a note about this in the Errata, thus I'm adding the FOR_ERRATA6 keyword.

Once added to https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_6_Errata please replace FOR_ERRATA6 with IN_ERRATA6.

Keywords: (none) => FOR_ERRATA6

Seems it might be a duplicate of bug 18027, which has a documented workaround?
Though it doesn't necessarily cover the %preun failure shown in comment 3.

So let's keep this report for that issue... it's annoying that even uninstalling the package doesn't work.

I'll move FOR_ERRATA6 to bug 18027

See Also: (none) => https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18027
Summary: numlock non active on start. => numlock cannot be uninstalled (%preun failure)

The problem with the numlock service comes from the /etc/init.d/numlock script.

The "chkconfig" comment line is wrong :
# chkconfig 3457 26 15

The runlevel 7 doesn't exist and the line should be :
# chkconfig 345 26 15

After correction, everything is ok and the package can be uninstalled.

Best regards.

The cause is the same as that of bug #18027

Closing this one as duplicate. Fix in progress.
