--


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libidn-1.34-1.fc28

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start automated install using the attached kickstart file

Additional info:
kickstart worked fine with Fedora 27
Comment 1 Miroslav Lichvar 2018-05-02 15:56:14 UTC 
The libidn's postin scriptlet just calls install-info and ldconfig.

DNS says the libidn error is not fatal, so I suspect this is probably related to the cups error.
Comment 2 Zdenek Dohnal 2018-05-03 06:44:01 UTC 
$ rpm -ql cups | grep cups.socket
/usr/lib/systemd/system/cups.socket

cups.socket is correctly in cups-2.2.6-14.fc28 rpm. I suspect the error is in anaconda.
Comment 3 Vendula Poncova 2018-05-03 10:17:03 UTC 
Please, attach all files /tmp/*log with anaconda logs.

Comment 5 Giovanni Tirloni 2018-05-03 18:12:32 UTC 
I explicitly excluded "libidn" (in the %packages section) and now the installation finished successfully. 

```
%packages --excludedocs
@core
@base-x
@fonts
@multimedia
@hardware-support
@workstation-product
@gnome-desktop
-libidn
%end
```

Added it back in and the error is back. I agree the postin scriptlet seems simple enough so maybe it's something else.
Comment 6 Peter Janes 2018-05-08 14:13:44 UTC 
I'm definitely seeing this only in libidn itself.  The graphical installer shows a window with this:

The following error occurred while installing.  This is a fatal error and installation will be aborted.

DNF error: Non-fatal POSTIN scriptlet failure in rpm package libidn

[Exit Installer]

Comment 8 Vendula Poncova 2018-05-14 10:47:04 UTC 
The reported DNF error is fatal (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1565123). Reassigning back to libidn.
Comment 9 Miroslav Lichvar 2018-05-14 11:06:43 UTC 
Can you please try it with libidn-1.34-2.fc28 fixed for bug #1573961?

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-aae2d44488

I guess ldconfig could be failing due to the symbols having unexpected sizes. However, I'd expect it to at least print an error message.
Comment 10 Peter Janes 2018-05-14 16:12:26 UTC 
Command-line and graphical installer both fail with "DNF error: Non-fatal POSTIN scriptlet failure in rpm package libidn".  However, if I go into a console in the graphical installer it seems to have installed successfully.

# rpm -ivh /run/install/repo/Packages/libidn-1.34-2.fc28.x86_64.rpm --root /mnt/sysimage
Preparing...
        package libidn-1.34-2.fc28.x86_64 is already installed
Comment 11 Peter Janes 2018-05-14 16:18:12 UTC 
I have %packages configured with --instLangs=en,en_US,en-US, and /usr/share/info/libidn.info.gz doesn't exist. I see that the original reporter has --excludedocs, so I'd guess the info file doesn't exist in his instance either.
Comment 12 Miroslav Lichvar 2018-05-14 16:34:08 UTC 
Thanks for the hints.

I think you are right that it's an issue with the info files and not ldconfig. The %ldconfig macro does nothing on F28. install-info is the last command of the scriptlet and if that fails, the scriptlet will fail too.
Comment 13 Giovanni Tirloni 2018-05-14 16:50:07 UTC 
Confirmed installing without "--excludedocs" works here.
