Info

I am testing installing our server RPM in clean Amazon Linux 1 and 2 distros and ran into an issue: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.VPEB9d: line 2: /usr/sbin/groupadd: No such file or directory error: %pre(mongodb-org-server-4.4.15-1.amzn2.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 Installing : qrencode-libs-3.4.1-3.amzn2.0.2.x86_64 error: mongodb-org-server-4.4.15-1.amzn2.x86_64: install failed You can reproduce by trying to build this image with an OCI builder of your choice. It seems like shadow-utils is not detected as a dependency correctly? I found this ticket from ages ago which should have fixed this, but perhaps there’s something funny going on in Amazon Linux 2 and Amazon Linux 1? Note: This only impacts 4.2 and 4.4 for Amazon Linux 2 and 4.2 for Amazon Linux 1; 5.0+ seems OK.

CC ryan.egesdahl@mongodb.com For amazon2 we have made some fixes, I need to double check if they are published but SERVER-70083 is tracking those provlems. JIRAUSER1259293 commented on Wed, 12 Oct 2022 20:53:30 +0000: Thanks for fixing those. I was able to test and verify those fixes. However, there are some that are still failing. I am adding the container images below to reproduce those failures. amazon-1-community-4.2-x86 // code placeholder FROM amazonlinux:1 RUN echo $'\n\ [mongodb]\n\ name=MongoDB Repository\n\ baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/amazon/2013.03/mongodb-org/4.2/x86_64/\n\ gpgcheck=1\n\ enabled=1\n\ gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.2.asc' > /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb.repo RUN yum install -y mongodb-org amazon-2-community-4.2-x86 FROM amazonlinux:2 RUN echo $'\n\ [mongodb]\n\ name=MongoDB Repository\n\ baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/amazon/2/mongodb-org/4.2/x86_64/\n\ gpgcheck=1\n\ enabled=1\n\ gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.2.asc' > /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb.repo RUN yum install -y mongodb-org amazon-2-community-4.4-x86 FROM amazonlinux:2 RUN echo $'\n\ [mongodb]\n\ name=MongoDB Repository\n\ baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/amazon/2/mongodb-org/4.4/x86_64/\n\ gpgcheck=1\n\ enabled=1\n\ gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.4.asc' > /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb.repo RUN yum install -y mongodb-org It would be nice if you could advise if those are valid failures/or should be ignored. xgen-internal-githook commented on Thu, 29 Sep 2022 21:19:57 +0000: Author: {'name': 'Alexander Neben', 'email': 'alexander.neben@mongodb.com', 'username': 'IamXander'} Message: SERVER-68470 Added systemd requirement to old mongo versions Branch: v4.4 https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/commit/8413a69fb27cb021577b2203354e0c249ee76a03 xgen-internal-githook commented on Mon, 26 Sep 2022 20:14:23 +0000: Author: {'name': 'Alexander Neben', 'email': 'alexander.neben@mongodb.com', 'username': 'IamXander'} Message: SERVER-68470 Added systemd requirement to old mongo versions v4.2 Branch: v4.2 https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/commit/7032bedddde584ee7931875a79db7bc9262c26d5 JIRAUSER1268551 commented on Fri, 23 Sep 2022 23:02:33 +0000: There are two bugs. On amazon2 it looks like we are not installing systemd Systemd does not exist on amazon1 so we need to install shadow utils as you suggested JIRAUSER1268551 commented on Fri, 23 Sep 2022 21:50:45 +0000: I was able to repo this and created a test to catch this in the future, investigating a fix
