Hi Lev,

Are you working on this?

CC: (none) => remco

I didn't receiving mail from bugzilla regarding this in December (it may have been silently eaten by a spam filter). Fix applied.

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

Lev, can you please look again? I get the following now:

[root@ketelbinkie remmy]# urpmi mercurial-server

I fixed the path - try again.

Sorry to report... but still no dice:

Hi Lev,

With -4 the package does install, but also results in a warning / error:

I'm not sure how big an issue this is as I don't use this package myself. Perhaps the original reporter knows?

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,

Appears it isn't creating the hg user it needs on install.

This one is strange
I tested it multiple time before pushing
can check after install if the hg user is created ?
it should :
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/updates/3/mercurial-server/current/SPECS/mercurial-server.spec?view=markup
38 	%pre
39 	%_pre_useradd hg /var/hg /bin/bash

sorry, I know why 
I didn't add the necessary requires :(
I will rebuild them soon, thanks for the report

userdel: hg mail spool (/var/spool/mail/hg) not found


I get the same results on both archs

You just did urpmi and then urpme ?
you didn't logged as user hg ?
you didn't "run /usr/share/mercurial-server/refresh-auth while logged in as the user hg" ?

seems that /var/spool/mail/hg is not created by %_pre_useradd hg /var/hg /bin/bash

I have to find a solution, since %_post_userdel is not the correct one as it remove nothing

maybe create /var/spool/mail/hg in the package 
or can we live with this warning as it break nothing ?

Is it mercurial rather than mercurial-server which should be creating the hg user?

all that is very strange, different tests, some fail on create user, other on delete it, other all is ok but with a warning ....

why %_pre_useradd hg /var/hg /bin/bash don't work on your box Claire ?
any idea ? any log ?

do you have the same result under mga3 ?

seems that I need to review completely this package, and that under mga2, I can't rely on %_pre_useradd

I reassign the bug to me

So it seems the hg user is actually being removed as the package is updated.

Removing with --debug shows nothing new either, but as the user is deleted with the update this should be expected.

Testing mga3 64

Sorry Philippe, there's something strange happening. It appears to actually delete the hg user which was added by the Release version. When the old package is removed after updating to the new one it shows an error that the user doesn't exist, but seems to confirm it does exist before it begins.

Installing fresh from updates testing, without having a previous version installed does seem to install and uninstall cleanly so the problems seem to stem from the previous package. Not sure there will be a way to fix this properly.

The following package:
  mercurial-2.5.2-1.mga3.x86_64
is now orphaned, if you wish to remove it, you can use "urpme --auto-orphans"
# grep hg /etc/passwd | wc -l
0
# grep hg /etc/group | wc -l
0

OK

I will do an update so the future updates don't create the problem
But there is nothing I can do for the release packages
So note :
When upgrading from mercurial-server-1.3-1.mga3.noarch, you have first to remove the package (urpme mercurial-server) and only after install the new version mercurial-server-1.3-3.3

After that future upgrades should run correctly

Updated packages in core/updates_testing:
========================
mercurial-server-1.3-3.3.mga3.noarch.rpm
mercurial-server-1.2-6.3.mga2.noarch.rpm

Source RPMs: 
mercurial-server-1.3-3.3.mga3.src.rpm

nothing more than the readme.urpmi shown, ok on mga2/64b

Reproduced the bug with installing and uninstalling from core/release on mga3 i586. Reinstalled mercurial-server from core/release before trying the update candidate. Then:

So as said in comment 39, the update candidate works if the package from core/release was removed *before*. Could we have a mention about it in the readme.urpmi? Such as "Please uninstall and reinstall mercurial-server if you had the package from core/release already installed".

Which means it uninstalled the server without error & declared the 3 'orphan' packages.
Hope this helps.

Ping Philippe on comment 42.

Do you plan to add a readme.urpmi saying that mercurial-server should not be installed when installing the update, or do we consider it good as is? (we still lack tests on mga2-32 and mga3-64 though).

Whiteboard: MGA2TOO has_procedure mga2-64-ok => MGA2TOO has_procedure mga2-64-ok feedback

Could it be only on advisory ?
the initial bug report was that mercurial-server don't install, so, not sure that someone have it on his box 

it would save me another round of update and build, and I have a lot of others packages to take care of.

Ok :)

After uninstalling the release version and installing from testing followed the step-by-step here: http://dev.lshift.net/paul/mercurial-server/docbook.html#id1332390

Created a local mercurial repository

Edited ~/.hgrc and added some info as below

[ui]
username = Claire Robinson <eeeemail@gmail.com>
verbose = True

Then created a local repository to test the server with

$ cd test
$ ls

$ hg add .
$ hg commit -m "First commit"

then followed the next section on creating repositories: http://dev.lshift.net/paul/mercurial-server/docbook.html#id1332626

$ hg clone . ssh://hg@mga232/claires/project
running ssh hg@mga232 'hg init claires/project'

Forgot to mention the 'hg init' which comes before 'hg add .' otherwise it complains there is no repository there to add to.

Also if ssh-add -L doesn't work properly, it should pass the contents or your ssh public key (.ssh/id_rsa.pub or .ssh/id_dsa.pub normally) which you can just copy/paste instead.
