nextspace-applications %preun: chvt 02 hangs

[mbert]

When uninstalling nextspace in an ssh session the chvt command executed in %preun hangs and needs to be terminated.

[trunkmaster]

Should be fixed now.

Thank you, I will give this a try.

Works for some cases. Problem: the SSH_CLIENT environment variable does not survive a su -. Is the chvt 02 really necessary?

[trunkmaster]

chvt 02 is necessary if you remove nextspace packages from GUI session. I suppose package removal will be terminated in that case. I can remove it, but correct package uninstall will be a user responsibility.

Then it's probably about finding a "safe" environment variable. I guess (not tested yet) that checking for the typical environment variables set by X sessions will probably exhibit the same problem: sudo should be fine, but an su - probably not. Difficult.

And, yes, currently the uninstall is stuck, and when I kill the chvt process the uninstall is terminated, too, so that the package is still installed afterwards.

[trunkmaster]

Removed that command: now it's user responsibility to remove or upgrade packages correctly.

[mbert]

OK. I guess we can close this then.
