Error when installing IDM 4.8.0 HF1

[skoehler]

Hi,

on a fresh IDM 4.8.0 with eDir 9.2.0 (not the bundled one, but the independant download version) when installing the IDM 4.8.0-HF1 patch (after stopping eDir), I receive the following errors:

Preparing...                          ################################# [100%]
 file /opt/novell/eDirectory/lib from install of novell-DXMLbasenoarch-4.8.0-1.i586 conflicts with file from package novell-edirectory-expat-32bit-9.2.0-6.x86_64

   2:novell-DXMLeventx-4.8.0-0        ################################# [100%]

Also I notice, that there is a mismatch at the RELEASE:

rpm -qa novell-DXMLengnx returns novell-DXMLeventx-4.8.0-1.x86_64
rpm -q --qf "%{VERSION}" novell-DXMLengnx returns 4.8.0
rpm -q --qf "%{RELEASE}" novell-DXMLengnx returns 0 (should be 1 to  my understanding)

Any idea what's wrong here?

Hi Steffen,

What Linux distro do you use?

I had some various issues during the standard 4.8 installation on RedHat.
To me, they were fixed by setting the Selinux to permissive.

File:
/etc/selinux/config

Content:
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=permissive
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these three values:
# targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
# minimum - Modification of targeted policy. Only selected processes are protected.
# mls - Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted

Hi Adrian, thanks for your input.

In fact, I run on SLES 12 SP4. The IDM 4.8.0 install itself works fine.

Hi Adrian,

This is very interesting information, as last time I pursued this subject (selinux) I was told by the PM that eDirectory/IDM will work with selinux in enforcing setting.

add a --force to the rpm command 🙂

[cpedersen]

While I do not disagree with you that this will get the RPM installed, using '--force' is not a healthy option, as it might break other things.

I would suggest to open an SR, and get the rpm fixed as it's not build correctly.

Hi Skoehler

I'm finding myself with the same problem that you are experiencing, we even have the same gear but if i check on iManager it seems to present the 4.8.0.1 version. 

I guess we will open an SR too, but if you have any news on this issue please let us know, we will do the same.

Greetings

Hi, sorry to admit, but I didn't follow up. I experienced this in a Lab environment (that's what they are made for) and didn't find time to work on this so far.

I also noticed that in my first statement, I mixed up the rpms when doing the query, so it may not be THAT worse (with the version misinformation).
