Description imz 2002-12-12 15:40:57 MSK

When service dictd condreload is available (see #1704), i think, it should be used instead of condrestart command in the install-time scripts of the package.

For smoother update, we need to require that the version of dictd with condreload support is installed when %post and %postun are executed. Thus:

PreReq: dictd &gt;= 1.9.1-alt1 (according to #0001704)

or:

Requires(post,postun): dictd &gt;= 1.9.1-alt1

(the last variant is not tested to work well for APT).

This applies to dict-eng-deu-0.2-alt2, 
dict-deu-eng-0.2-alt2, dict-jargon-4.3.1-alt2, dict-engcom-0.4-alt3, dict-web1913-1.4_0.47pd-ipl5, dict-mueller7-utf8-1.2-alt3.

Here is an example of a broken update because of the wrong order:

# rpm -qa \'dict*\'
dict-tools-1.8.0-alt1
dict-jargon-4.3.1-alt1
dictd-1.8.0-alt1
dict-engcom-0.4-alt2
dict-deu-eng-0.2-alt1
dict-1.8.0-alt1
dict-eng-deu-0.2-alt1

Comment 5 Michael Shigorin 2006-09-27 16:42:45 MSD

I think it's de facto fixed: ALM2.2 already had dictd-1.9.1-alt2, and rebuild
was required anyways (initscript migration).  If someone is pedantic enough,
feel free to actlayy fix this.
