Jesse Becker created an issue   Puppet Task Runner / BOLT-1020 puppet-bolt-1.5.0-1.el7.x86_64 RPM package creates file in /usr/local Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: BOLT 1.5.0 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2018/12/07 9:02 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Jesse Becker The puppet-bolt rpm creates a symlink /usr/local. This is generally incorrect behaviour for RPM packages, which should follow the FHS (and the FHS says that distributed packages should generally stay out of /usr/local). # ls -l /usr/local/bin/bolt lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 24 Dec 7 11:39 /usr/local/bin/bolt -> /opt/puppetlabs/bin/bolt None of the other puppet-* RPM packages that I spot-checked write into /usr/local. Furthermore, unlike the various other RPM packages, the Bolt RPM drops an actual file into /opt/puppetlabs/bin, instead of a symlink: # ls -l /opt/puppetlabs/bin/ total 4 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 277 Dec 6 14:43 bolt lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 37 Dec 7 11:39 facter -> /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/wrapper.sh lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 37 Dec 7 11:39 hiera -> /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/wrapper.sh lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 37 Dec 7 11:39 puppet -> /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/wrapper.sh lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 36 Oct 31 14:50 puppetdb -> ../server/apps/puppetdb/bin/puppetdb lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 44 Oct 31 14:49 puppetserver -> ../server/apps/puppetserver/bin/puppetserver While not "wrong," it is different from the other packages. This problem was present in puppet-bolt-1.1.0-1.el7.x86_64 as well.
