The one from chkconfig should probably not be installed, the other is certainly the one we want.
inittab
-->rcS
-->./S40networking(PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin)
-->S98configure(call rpm-postinstall)
-->rc5.d
-->profile(profile:4:PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
profile:15: PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin)
So as Paul said, this is due to differences in the PATH environment variable.
Verified with 20110824 build. Only one "update-alternatives" is installed. ############### root@qemuarm:~# rpm -ql chkconfig /etc /etc/alternatives /etc/chkconfig.d /sbin /sbin/chkconfig /usr /usr/sbin /usr/sbin/alternatives /usr/sbin/ntsysv /var /var/lib /var/lib/alternatives root@qemuarm:~# rpm -ql update-alternatives-cworth /usr /usr/bin /usr/bin/update-alternatives root@qemuarm:~# ############# |
Created attachment 125 [details] boot log for beagleboard xm with 1.0 lsb-sdk image During postinst processing on the BeagleBoard on first bootup of the lsb-sdk image I get a number of messages indicating the command-line for update-alternatives may be incorrect (the help message is printed). The problem occurs within the postinst for "shadow" however when I run "sh /etc/rpm-postinsts/shadow.sh.done" manually it works fine. Upon closer inspection I discovered there are actually two "update-alternatives" installed: one in /usr/sbin from chkconfig (symlinked to "alternatives"), and the other in /usr/bin from update-alternatives-cworth. It appears for whatever reason that the one from chkconfig is run during postinst processing but if you run the script from the command line it gets the other one; presumably this is due to differences in the PATH environment variable. Surely only one of these needs to be installed...?
