Details
Description:
During the last upgrade, filesystem was updated after pcre, but before grep. Since grep is used extensively in the if clauses of the install script, this bug causes some error messages to be printed with no side effects (groupadd complains about duplicate entities and useradd errors out, which is another bug I'll be filing) and a duplicate include in /etc/ld.so.conf The affected package is filesystem-2012.2-2 Steps to reproduce: # pacman -R grep # pacman -S filesystem |

Ideally we should simply get rid of the dependency on grep in the
install scriptlet. Some of them I've already replaced in SVN with
calls to getent. The remaining are of questionable value and seem
to do things that a responsible user should be doing on their own.
It would be nice if this was added as a dependency in the mean
time. I've been updating some systems and ran into this a number
of times.
Ran into what? The failures can be ignored as commands in question
do nothing in almost all cases.
