Specifying <directory> of a pre-exising system directory results in an RPM
which can't be installed due to conflicts
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MOJO-931
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO-931
Project: Mojo
Issue Type: Bug
Components: rpm
Environment: CentOS release 5 (Final)
Reporter: Shmulik Fishman
Priority: Minor
<mapping> currently specifies the destination directory for the files. This
directory is always listed as part of the installed files.
This presents a problem when trying to install a startup script for the
application:
<mapping>
<directory>/etc/init.d</directory>
[...]
</mapping>
Trying to install the RPM results in the following error:
# rpm -Uvh dummy-1.0-1.i386.rpm
file /etc/init.d from install of dummy-1.0-1 conflicts with file from package
chkconfig-1.3.30.1-1
$ rpm -qlvp dummy-1.0-1.i386.rpm
[..]
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Oct 17 10:50 /etc/init.d
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15060 Oct 17 10:50 /etc/init.d/dummy
[..]
Current workarounds:
- Use the postinstall script to create the file in /etc/init.d, removing this
<mapping> altogether.
or
- Use --force during the installation
