Postfix with quota patch on x86_64

Hello,

I’m trying to build:

postfix-2.3.3-2.x86_64.rpm

with the Quota path:

postfix-2.3.3-vda.patch.

The build

rpmbuild -ba postfix.spec

fails. Here are the last few lines:

+ ed /var/tmp/postfix-buildroot/etc/postfix/postfix-files
17479
?
+ exit 1
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.54973 (%install)

This is the failing script in the postfix.spec file:

# RPM compresses man pages automatically.
# - Edit postfix-files to reflect this, so post-install won't get confused
# when called during package installation.
ed $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{postfix_config_dir}/postfix-files <<EOF || exit 1
%s/\(\/man[158]\/.*\.[158]\):/\1.gz:/
%s/\$config_directory\/aliases:f/\#/
w
q
EOF

Thanks in advance for any ideas!
Adam.

 

Did you get any error messages before the ones you posted?

 

Hi Falko, thanks for responding.

No errors except for the gazillion warnings: "/*" within comments.

It appears the problem is on my Fedora 6 install, the ED editor chokes on the "%s" syntax for search/replace. Preferring the ",s" syntax (from the man page).

Thanks again.
Adam.

 

What did you try to replace?

 

Hi Falko,

The build (rpmbuild -ba postfix.spec) edits the "postfix-files" file so the post-installation won't fail. Verbatim, from postfix.spec, the two ED search & replace commands:

%s/\(\/man[158]\/.*\.[158]\):/\1.gz:/
%s/\$config_directory\/aliases:f/\#/

On my Fedora Core 6 installation the ED editor does not recognize the %s command. This is confirmed by observation and from the MAN page. Changing to the recognized form ",s" as in:

,s/\(\/man[158]\/.*\.[158]\):/\1.gz:/
,s/\$config_directory\/aliases:f/\#/

appears to fix the build script.

Thanks again,
Falko!
