fedora_requires_release_note granted: [Bug 238337] xsane-gimp needs to be placed in /usr/lib{, 64}/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/

Bug 238337: xsane-gimp needs to be placed in /usr/lib{,64}/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/ Product: Fedora Core Version: devel Component: xsane Nils Philippsen <nphilipp(a)redhat.com> has granted Nils Philippsen <nphilipp(a)redhat.com>'s request for fedora_requires_release_note: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238337 ------- Additional Comments from Nils Philippsen <nphilipp(a)redhat.com> I've noticed that my fix was still suboptimal and have updated it in gimp-2.2.14-4.fc7 which is building at the moment. Note that when updating from an affected version of the gimp to a fixed one you'll likely still see the problem because the culprit is in the packages %preun script, i.e. the broken script is run. This means that the fix will only help for subsequent updates, use the workaround I described above once again to fix things (hopefully for the last time).

Hi all, I've Cc'ed relonotes because this bug might need mentioning in the release notes.

Can we wait for I can understand that (I've got a track record in that regard). Take my mail as a heads up not to bother with the other package then ;-). > confirmation of the fix? (Nils, how long would it take you to verify > the fix? I'll help if you can give me reproducer instructions..) Verification of the fix is easy: With an installed xsane-gimp package, update the gimp and the symlink %{_libdir}/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/xsane should still point to %{_bindir}/xsane-gimp, like this: nils@wombat:/usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins> ls -l xsane lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Apr 25 08:14 xsane -> /usr/bin/xsane-gimp One caveat though: The bug is with the preun script, so when updating from an affected version, you'll still see the symlink removed (because the executed preun script contains the bug -- don't we all love rpm scripts?) and only on the second update (from unaffected version to the next) it will work. This is why I think we'd need some mention in the release notes, even on such short notice (sorry), i.e. I think I'd need to update http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/PackageNotes -- is that correct? Whom would I need to ping to get this in in time? The content would be 1) small description of the problem, i.e. why the corrected package alone doesn't help and the symptoms and 2) the workaround ("/usr/sbin/gimp-plugin-mgr --install '*'").
