Description of problem: I have installed Mageia 1 long ago, then done all distribution upgrades on running system using the 'urpmi' method. I've noticed that my 'avahi' user account still has home directory set to '/var/avahi' instead of '/var/run/avahi-daemon'. This was supposed to be fixed by mga#10004 , but not for me. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): avahi-0.6.32-1.mga6.src.rpm How reproducible: On running Mageia 6, manually set home directory to '/var/avahi' for user 'avahi'. Then, reinstall avahi package. Notice the following error message from 'usermod' command, preventing the home directory update. usermod: user avahi is currently used by process 1221 Steps to Reproduce: 1. vi /etc/passwd 2. Change home directory to '/var/avahi' for user 'avahi' 3. urpmi --replacepkgs avahi Proposed solution: update the %preinstall section of 'avahi' package so that: 1. stop the 'avahi-daemon' service prior to run 'usermod' 2. if usermod fails, fallback to 'sed' the passwd file directly

This message is a reminder that Mageia 6 is end of life. Mageia stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 6. At that time this bug will be closed as OLD (EOL). Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 6's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we cannot be able to fix it before Mageia 6 was end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. -- Mageia Bugsquad
