SA Bugzilla – Bug 1754
rpm "upgrade" of sysconfig script doesn't work
Last modified: 2003-04-08 18:43:46 UTC
The latest RPM spec file has a scriptlet to change the name of the sysconfig file from "spamd" to "spamassassin" and change the name of the options variable from OPTIONS to SPAMDOPTIONS at the same time. This does not work because there is a typo in the script, which tries to edit the new filename, not the old. The result is that SPAMDOPTIONS doesn't get set at all, so when you try to start the service, it hangs because it is trying to run in the foreground and the RPM command never completes.
Created attachment 867 [details] Patch to spamassassin.spec
oops. yeah, I went back and forth between how best to do the renaming, and forgot to change that back from the previous way. :| all fixed now. :) thanks.
Works fine. Dave
