Description Carl Roth 2010-09-29 20:38:05 CEST

The %pre scriptlet for VirtualBox-OSE-devel does not work if there are no prior installations of VirtualBox-OSE-devel.

See:

  PYXP=/usr/share/virtualbox/sdk/bindings/xpcom/python/xpcom
  [ -d "$PYXP" ] && rm -rf "$PYXP"

Note that in line 2, the final shell status is non-zero of the $PYXP directory is initially missing.  I would suggest something like

  if test -d "$PYXP"; then /bin/rm -fr "$PYXP"; fi

or

  test ! -d "$PYXP" || /bin/rm -rf "$PYXP" || :

This bug corresponds to

  VirtualBox-OSE-devel-3.2.6-2.fc13.x86_64
