https://www.jpackage.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=359

           Summary: Why should a binary rpm have to mess around with rpm
                    configuration files ?
           Product: jpackage-utils
           Version: 5.0.0.1.jpp5
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: package
        AssignedTo: jpackage-discuss-/[email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


Comparing to version of the RPM, we found that jpackage-utils-5.0.0-1.jpp5 is
modifying an rpm config file in a postinstall script.
My enterprise is monitoring this file (/usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc) because of security
issues and I had to install another version of this package because of this,
which is considered as abnormal situation.
Why do you have to modified /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc?


[root@ce201 ~]#  rpm -q --scripts jpackage-utils-1.7.3-1jpp.2.el5
[root@ce201 ~]# 

While yours has:
[root@voatlas126 ~]# rpm -q --scripts jpackage-utils-5.0.0-1.jpp5
postuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if [ $1 -eq 0 ]; then
  for i in "" /redhat /asianux; do
    i="/usr/lib/rpm$i/rpmrc"
    if test -f "$i" && egrep -q '^macrofiles:.*/etc/rpm/macros\.jpackage' "$i";
then
      perl -pi -e \
        's,^(macrofiles:.*):/etc/rpm/macros\.jpackage,$1,' "$i"
    fi
  done
fi
