[BugDB] mysql-3.23.54a-1.2.1 is missing a dep (PR#169)

Full_Name: Ingo T. Storm
Version: 3.23.54a-1.2.1
OS: Solaris 9
Submission from: (NULL) (145.243.187.7)

I rebuilt the updated 3.23.54a-1.2.1 and installed it on a system where mysql
had not been installed previously. I get an error message

 -Uvh UPDBIN/mysql-3.23.54a-1.2.1.sparc64-solaris2.9-cw.rpm 
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:mysql                  ########################################### [100%]
/cw/bin/mysql_install_db: /cw/bin/hostname: not found
Sorry, the host '' could not be looked up.
Please configure the 'hostname' command to return a correct hostname.
If you want to solve this at a later stage, restart this script with
the --force option

/cw/bin/hostname is in coreutils, so I guess coreutils should be added to the
"Requieres"-clause in mysql.spec or /cw/bin/mysql_install_db shoul check if it
can live with /bin/hostname
.

Cheers,

The use of <prefix>/bin/hostname by <prefix>/bin/resolveip is strange, of
course.  But your real problem seems to be that the output of /bin/hostname
cannot be resolved to a valid IP address for your host. Fix this and it should
no longer complain, too. Additionally we should determine why MySQL's
resolveip tries <prefix>/bin/hostname...

a.

[openpkg12]$/cw/bin/resolveip `/bin/hostname`
IP address of installsrv is 172.29.5.181
[root <at> installsrv]
[openpkg12]$/cw/bin/resolveip `/cw/bin/hostname`
IP address of installsrv is 172.29.5.181

Not a fqdn, I concede, since I am still in my setup phase, but the
output of either "hostname" is resolvable.

b.

/cw/bin/mysql_install_db has
110:hostname=`/cw/bin/hostname`         # Install this too in the user
table

which should be the result of

./mysql-3.23.54a/scripts/mysql_install_db.sh

[BugDB] rpmtoll/shtool problem on Alpha - gcc bootstrap problem in %install (PR#170)

Full_Name: Martin Sperl
Version: 1.2
OS: Tru64
Submission from: (NULL) (62.178.145.10)

Hi!

We have got a Problem bootstrapping gcc for Alpha-Tru64...

We know that gcc3.2.1 does not bootstrap on Tru64, se we decided to use the
version 3.02 from OpenPKG 1.0. But as far as looking at the spec files I see
that if gcc3.2 would compile then the problem would be the same.

Now to the basic facts:

rpm -ba gcc.spec

<GCC and the lib compile>
We get as far as this:

fi
+ exit 0
Executing(%install): env -i /cw/lib/openpkg/bash --norc --noprofile --posix -e
/cw/RPM/TMP/rpm-tmp.31622
+ cd /cw/RPM/TMP
+ cd gcc-3.0.2
+ rm -rf /cw/RPM/TMP/gcc-3.0.2-root
++ ./config.guess
+ triple=alphaev67-dec-osf5.1
++ ./config.sub alphaev67-dec-osf5.1

[BugDB] Config file location wrong in libxml (PR#172)

Full_Name: Matt Hoosier
Version: 
OS: Solaris 9 / UltraSparc
Submission from: (NULL) (129.130.10.83)

The libxml package seems to be compiled with the expectation that config file
are found under /etc/sgml (rather than the correct %{l_prefix}/etc/sgml).

This seems to be a bug in the upstream libxml2 package; the autoconf
infrastructure for this package doesn't properly relocate the binaries'
expectations of where the config file should reside.

This was easily remedied with a small patch to the upstream source, plus a small
diff against the provided .spec file.

Can you send us your particular changes (diff), too?

[BugDB] coreutils su not setuid root (PR#173)

Full_Name: Mark Nagel
Version: coreutils-4.5.4-1.2.0
OS: Solaris 8
Submission from: (NULL) (67.115.210.114)

After building and installing coreutils, using rc to start services began to
fail.  I traced this to the use of the su version installed with coreutils,
which was setuid to the OpenPKG user (in my case this was okpg).  The RPM spec
should install this program suid root.

I checked the build process:

su is only installed into the package when you build the package as
user root, which you shouldn't but which on the other side shouldn't
have side effects either. In that case it gets a suid-bit but the
file will belong to the OpenPKG user.

I have fixed this in coreutils-4.5.11-20030326

Thanks for your report :)
