%pre scriptlet failed in Guestfish

%pre scriptlet failed in Guestfish

[Alexandre Freire da Silva Osorio]

Hello,

Running an image built with Yocto 1.8 in Guestfish I get the following error when trying to install a RPM package:

sh "cd /home/root; rpm -ivh --nodeps package.rpm"
libguestfs: trace: sh "cd /home/root; rpm -ivh --nodeps package.rpm"
guestfsd: error: error:   install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping package.x86_64
libguestfs: trace: sh = NULL (error)
libguestfs: error: sh: error:   install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping package.x86_64

This error doesn't occur ehqne running the same image in QEMU. Please could anyone give me a help?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Alexandre

I don't know what Guestfish is.  But in these cases, the best way to handle it
is to us 'rpm -q --scriptlets <package>'

And then run the commands manually, in the same environment as RPM would run in,
to verify failure modes.

The error above -appears- to indicate it tried to the 'sh', but there was no
'sh' in your environment.

Mark,

Thanks for your attention. 

In fact there's nothing in PRE script of the rpm that could cause the error, it just executes a 'exit 0'. I really don't know what can be the cause. More than this, why the error doesn't occur when running on a QEMU VM, just inside guestfish.

Regards,
Alexandre

In order to run the 'exit 0', it needs to run the shell.  So it's trying to run
either /bin/sh or /bin/bash (not sure) and it's being stopped.
