Обсуждение: BUG #5430: initdb fails due to permissions of /usr/share/pgsql
The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 5430 Logged by: Jamie Strachan Email address: frostfreek@yahoo.com PostgreSQL version: 8.4.3-2PGDG.el4 Operating system: CentOS 4 Description: initdb fails due to permissions of /usr/share/pgsql Details: Hello, Downloaded the following RPM: http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/8.4/redhat/rhel-4-i386/postgresql-server-8.4.3-2PGD G.el4.i386.rpm for my CentOS 4 install. service postgresql initdb fails with no error message. So, I su'd to postgres, and ran initdb --pgdata=/var/lib/pgsql/data --auth=ident which is what service postgresql initdb does. This command failed, with the error message: could not open directory "/usr/share/pgsql/timezonesets" I did a chown -R postgres:postgres /usr/share/pgsql and then it worked fine. Using rpm2cpio {file} | cpio -tv I see: drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 0 Mar 17 16:21 ./usr/share/pgsql which is fine, however there is no specific entry for /usr/share/timezone. The post-install script doesn't seem to fix it, either.
Would you report this to the RPM maintainers? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jamie Strachan wrote: > > The following bug has been logged online: > > Bug reference: 5430 > Logged by: Jamie Strachan > Email address: frostfreek@yahoo.com > PostgreSQL version: 8.4.3-2PGDG.el4 > Operating system: CentOS 4 > Description: initdb fails due to permissions of /usr/share/pgsql > Details: > > Hello, > > Downloaded the following RPM: > http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/8.4/redhat/rhel-4-i386/postgresql-server-8.4.3-2PGD > G.el4.i386.rpm > > for my CentOS 4 install. > > service postgresql initdb fails with no error message. > > So, I su'd to postgres, and ran > > initdb --pgdata=/var/lib/pgsql/data --auth=ident > which is what service postgresql initdb does. > This command failed, with the error message: > > could not open directory "/usr/share/pgsql/timezonesets" > > > I did a > chown -R postgres:postgres /usr/share/pgsql > and then it worked fine. > > Using rpm2cpio {file} | cpio -tv > I see: > drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 0 Mar 17 16:21 ./usr/share/pgsql > which is fine, however there is no specific entry for > /usr/share/timezone. > The post-install script doesn't seem to fix it, either. > > -- > Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) > To make changes to your subscription: > http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com

Success.

I have posted the bug to the RPM maintainers, over at Command Prompt. So, 5430 can be closed. This is affecting my CentOS 4 release. (I have to support RHEL/CentOS 4, 5, and some others too.)

Lacey, AFAICS there is nothing that could cause this issue in your spec file. > # more /etc/redhat-release > Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 3) Mine is Update 8, BTW. I wonder whether there is an bug related to rpm itself in here. -- Devrim GÜNDÜZ PostgreSQL Danışmanı/Consultant, Red Hat Certified Engineer PostgreSQL RPM Repository: http://yum.pgrpms.org Community: devrim~PostgreSQL.org, devrim.gunduz~linux.org.tr http://www.gunduz.org Twitter: http://twitter.com/devrimgunduz
Hello,
I do appreciate help on this issue!
It seems to me that the directories /usr/share/pgsql/tsearch_data timezone =
and timezone_data
- are not explicitly contained within in the RPM
- are not configured by %defattr
(defattr is -,root,root)
I did a quick search to see what the default behaviour is supposed to be wh=
en a directory is not explicitly configured, but came up empty so far.
Sure enough, I have duplicated this scenario with a simple test RPM.
CentOS 5
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -i testy-1.0.0-0.noarch.rpm=20
[root@localhost ~]# ls -ld /opt/counterpath/eas/test
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 21 09:00 /opt/counterpath/eas/test
5
CentOS 4
[root@isotest ~]# rpm2cpio testy-1.0.0-0.noarch.rpm | cpio -tv
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 Apr 21 08:53 ./opt/counterpath/ea=
s/test/testfile.txt
1 block
[root@isotest ~]# rpm -i testy-1.0.0-0.noarch.rpm=20
[root@isotest ~]# ls -ld /opt/counterpath/eas/test
drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4096 Apr 21 08:59 /opt/counterpath/eas/test
CentOS 5 installs the directory with drwxr-xr-x, whereas CentOS4 installs i=
t with drwxr-x---
I don't think there should be any issue with explicitly specifying the dire=
ctory in the RPM with a %dir directive.
EG.,=20
%dir %attr(0755,root,root) /opt/counterpath/eas/test
My test RPM now installs properly on CentOS 4:
[root@isotest nortel]# rpm2cpio testy-1.0.0-0.noarch.rpm | cpio -tv
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Apr 21 08:53 ./opt/counterpath/ea=
s/test
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 Apr 21 08:53 ./opt/counterpath/ea=
s/test/testfile.txt
1 block
[root@isotest nortel]# rpm -i testy-1.0.0-0.noarch.rpm=20
[root@isotest nortel]# ls -ld /opt/counterpath/eas/test
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 21 09:14 /opt/counterpath/eas/test
Again, thank you for your time!!!
