Bug 3919

and was mageia-release-Default installed ?

Created attachment 1302 [details]
full install.log

Yes, but only much later during the installation (line 1806: indexhtml, line 2420: mageia-release-Default).

indexhtml should have
Requires(post): mageia-release or something like that.

Yep with the two fix of tmb I understand a little now :)
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/rpm-helper/current/SPECS/rpm-helper.spec?r1=188774&r2=188773&pathrev=188774

/etc/product.id is in mageia-release-Default

As there is no maintainer for this package I added the committers in CC.

@ Romain

Since you're already working on an indexhtml bug, bug 1306, do you mind taking this one, too?

Summary: %post script reads /etc/product.id, but does not require this file => indexhtml's %post script reads /etc/product.id, but does not require this file

Ok, but... how comes /etc/product.id is not available? (I understand it should be required, but I can't see how it couldn't be available on a properly installed system).

As in bug 1306, I'm considering removing the local static page anyway, that will close this issue as a side effect.

Romain, we are talking about basic packaging and about installing a system.

Installer preselect the basesystem package which pulls some other packages in order to have a working system.
User select some other packages (either individually or by selecting a desktop).

Then urpmi is used to order packages according to their requires.
As indexhtml doesn't require the package providing /etc/product.id, it may be installed before that pakage, and thus its post script will fail.

The issue is that indexhtml requires mageia-release-common instead of mageia-release. The former doesn't provides /etc/product.id, whereas the later does.

Worse you only require it for uninstalling, not for installing (no "requires(post)" on it)

It's easily reproducible using a chroot (let's say "I"):

mkdir I
urpmi.addmedia --urpmi-root=$PWD/I/ /home/tvignaud/mageia/ --distrib 
urpmi --urpmi-root=$PWD/I/ indexhtml --no-suggests 2>&1|tee LOG.idx
(...)
  114/114: indexhtml             #############################################
cat: /etc/product.id: No such file or directory

This bug was reassigned to bugsquad, and bugsquad can't solve this, so for now changing status back from assigned to new

Status: ASSIGNED => NEW

@rda:

can you fix this requires in this bug like tv said? so we can resolv this release_blocker...

fixed in svn. Please push the package.

Done please tester, check it fixes this bug

At least urpmi --urpmi-root testcase works smoothly now
