gcc/cpp conflicts from rawhide
by Mike Chambers 03 Apr '05

03 Apr '05

Anyone else seeing this? There was a package dependency problem. The message was: Unresolvable chain of dependencies: gcc-4.0.0-0.37 requires cpp = 4.0.0-0.37 gcc-c++-4.0.0-0.38 requires gcc = 4.0.0-0.38 gcc-gfortran-4.0.0-0.38 requires gcc = 4.0.0-0.38 gcc-gnat-4.0.0-0.38 requires gcc = 4.0.0-0.38 Above while trying to actually *update* gcc and cpp. -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "It's only funny until someone gets hurt...Then it's hilarious!"

Oddity in gconf ed (looking for a reason the panel menus are broken)
by Paul F. Johnson 03 Apr '05

03 Apr '05

Hi, I'm looking to see if there is anything in gconfed to see if there is a reason why the gnome-panel menus are currently broken (it's in bugzilla : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=147900) and it seems that inside of the /apps/panel/objects listing that there are rather a large number of entries for objects which no longer exist on this machine (for example, I have presentation, presentations, spreadsheet, wordprocessor, web and web_browser launchers : I removed these when I customised my panel when this box was a vanilla FC3 one). Is there any chance that these old entries (and there are plenty of them!) are screwing up the panel menus? TTFN Paul -- "It is often said that something cannot be libel if it is the truth.

rpm dependencies and duplicate provides
by Florian La Roche 02 Apr '05

02 Apr '05

We have looked at the dependency data within rpm packages. All packages normally provide a list of included shared libraries and also automatically generated perl deps. The list of packages providing the same "provides" dependency data is pretty long. The shortened list that only includes duplicate entries and also might match any requirement lines in FC-devel is the following: ('perl(Automake::XFile)', 32776L, '1.1') ['automake16-1.6.3-5.noarch.rpm', 'automake17-1.7.9-6.noarch.rpm'] ('webclient', 0L, '') ['elinks-0.10.3-1.i386.rpm', 'firefox-1.0.2-3.i386.rpm', 'lynx-2.8.5-23.i386.rpm', 'mozilla-1.7.6-2.i386.rpm', 'w3m-0.5.1-8.i386.rpm', 'wget-1.9.1-22.i386.rpm'] ('/usr/sbin/sendmail', 0L, '') ['postfix-2.2.1-1.i386.rpm', 'sendmail-8.13.3-2.i386.rpm'] ('smtpdaemon', 0L, '') ['postfix-2.2.1-1.i386.rpm', 'sendmail-8.13.3-2.i386.rpm'] ('perl(Pod::Select)', 32776L, '1.13') ['mrtg-2.11.1-3.i386.rpm', 'perl-5.8.6-5.i386.rpm'] ('perl(Automake::General)', 32768L, '') ['automake-1.9.5-1.noarch.rpm', 'automake16-1.6.3-5.noarch.rpm', 'automake17-1.7.9-6.noarch.rpm'] ('perl(Automake::Struct)', 32776L, '0.58') ['automake-1.9.5-1.noarch.rpm', 'automake15-1.5-13.noarch.rpm', 'automake16-1.6.3-5.noarch.rpm', 'automake17-1.7.9-6.noarch.rpm'] ('libxmlsec1.so.1', 32768L, '') ['openoffice.org-core-1.9.88-4.i386.rpm', 'xmlsec1-1.2.7-4.i386.rpm'] ('perl(Automake::Channels)', 32768L, '') ['automake-1.9.5-1.noarch.rpm', 'automake17-1.7.9-6.noarch.rpm'] ('perl(Inline)', 32768L, '') ['perl-Inline-0.44-14.i386.rpm', 'perl-PDL-2.4.1-9.i386.rpm'] ('libmd5.so.0', 32768L, '') ['libsilc-0.9.12-9.i386.rpm', 'w3c-libwww-5.4.0-13.i386.rpm'] ('libbind.so.3', 32768L, '') ['bind-libbind-devel-9.3.1-1_FC4.i386.rpm', 'bind-libs-9.3.1-1_FC4.i386.rpm'] So it is currently no real problem for FC-devel packages since we normally make sure to link against system libs and the duplicate perl items are also ok. This might look differently if we look at require dependencies e.g. from Fedora Core Extras and then check which deps might have duplicate provides within rpm packages to find maybe real problems with our current deps. greetings, Florian La Roche dupes = [ ("glibc", "i386"), ("nptl-devel", "i386"), ("openssl", "i386"), ("kernel", "i586"), ("kernel-smp", "i686"), ("kernel-smp-devel", "i686"), ("kernel-xen0", "i686"), ("kernel-xenU", "i686"), ("kernel-devel", "i586") ] def checkProvides(repo): provides = {} requires = {} for rpm in repo: req = rpm.getRequires() if not req: continue for r in req: if not requires.has_key(r[0]): requires[r[0]] = [] requires[r[0]].append(rpm.getFilename()) for rpm in repo: if (rpm["name"], rpm["arch"]) in dupes: continue provs = rpm.getProvides() if not provs: continue for p in provs: if not provides.has_key(p): provides[p] = [] provides[p].append(rpm.getFilename()) print "Duplicate provides:" for p in provides.keys(): if len(provides[p]) > 1: # also check if the rpm is different between provides/requires if not requires.has_key(p[0]): continue print p, provides[p]

/usr/share/texmf-var
by Russell Coker 02 Apr '05

02 Apr '05

How is /usr/share/texmf-var being managed? From the below log messages on upgrading policy it seems that an rpm postinst script is creating files in the /tmp directory and then moving them across. If so this seems like a bad idea (think about what happens if the machine crashes part way through the move process, what happens if /tmp has space but /usr doesn't, and the other possible issues). For SE Linux we could get this working by relabelling files after the package in question is installed/upgraded (the postinst of the package could call restorecon to do it). But it seems that a better solution would be to just put the files under /usr/share/texmf-var when they are first created. /sbin/restorecon reset context /usr/share/texmf-var/web2c/omega.log:root:object_r:rpm_script_tmp_t->system_u:object_r:usr_t /sbin/restorecon reset context /usr/share/texmf-var/web2c/bplain.fmt:root:object_r:rpm_script_tmp_t->system_u:object_r:usr_t /sbin/restorecon reset context /usr/share/texmf-var/web2c/aleph.log:root:object_r:rpm_script_tmp_t->system_u:object_r:usr_t /sbin/restorecon reset context /usr/share/texmf-var/web2c/mf.log:root:object_r:rpm_script_tmp_t->system_u:object_r:usr_t /sbin/restorecon reset context /usr/share/texmf-var/web2c/amstex.log:root:object_r:rpm_script_tmp_t->system_u:object_r:usr_t -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page

cryptsetup and device ownership
