cd novell-xplatlib-1.0.3-39.i586/novell-xplatlib-1.0.3
No problems here with dependencies.
The postrm and postinst scripts need a bit of editing.
They fiddle around with /etc/ld.so.conf, but on Ubuntu that is generated, so we create etc/ld.so.conf.d/xplatlib.conf[33]:
/opt/novell/lib
Then we edit debian/postinst:
#!/bin/sh
RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX=
# removed because it is not the Debian way
#export RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX
#if ! grep /opt/novell/lib /etc/ld.so.conf >/dev/null; then
# echo "/opt/novell/lib" >>/etc/ld.so.conf
#fi
/sbin/ldconfig
We remove Emacs backup files and build the package:

cd novell-xtier-base-3.1.6-12.i586/novell-xtier-base-3.1.6
We unconditionalize (see Conference under Docker) the preinst, postinst, prerm and postrm.
In preinst, we unconditionalize, and we stop /etc/init.d/regd only if it exists.
And because we cannot see the difference between fresh install and upgrade, we don't exit in the upgrade case that the file distinguishes:
<snip>
#if test "$1" != 1; then
echo " doing rpm upgrade processing"
if [ "$YAST_IS_RUNNING" != "instsys" ]; then
#echo "Novell XTier Base pre script stoping novell-xregd for upgrade"
test -e /etc/init.d/novell-xregd && /etc/init.d/novell-xregd stop
fi
# Check if we need to export the XTier registry
# Note: We export the registry at this time to avoid losing its settings in case
# that we have to rebuild the database.
if [ -e "/var/opt/novell/xtier/xregd/db/xtier_registry.db" ]; then
echo " Exporting XTier Registry to temporary file..."
rm -f /var/opt/novell/xtier/xregd/xtier_registry.xml.export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/novell/xtier/lib /opt/novell/xtier/bin/regutil -e /var/opt/novell/xtier/xregd/xtier_registry.xml.export
echo " done exporting XTier Xml Registry"
else
echo " Saving Pre-XFlaim registry file for upgrade..."
cp /etc/opt/novell/xtier/xtier_registry.xml /etc/opt/novell/xtier/xtier_registry.xml.upgrade
fi
echo "done running Novell XTier Base pre script!"
# Since we cannot distinguish between fresh install and upgrade, we don't exit here in Ubuntu/Debian
# exit 0
#fi
<snip>
Because the package depends on libbfd-2.19.so, and because that isn't available in Intrepid, we do a Sneaky Symlink (TM):
pushd /usr/lib
sudo ln -s libbfd-2.18.93.20081009.so libbfd-2.19.so
popd
The postinst complains about a missing EULA for which ownerships cannot be changed.
(Note that this is an alien addition to the script.)
We couldn't care less about the EULA, and comment the line out.
The prerm script just exits when upgrading, so we not only unconditionalize it, we remove the upgrade case altogether:
# Unconditional in Debian/Ubuntu, and no use just exiting #if test "$1" == 1; then # echo "done running Novell XTier Base preun script!" # exit 0 #fi
We also replace the install_initd with an update-rc.d line.
The same goes for the postrm:
# Unconditional in Debian/Ubuntu, and no use exiting or even starting a daemon #if test "$1" == 1; then # if [ "$YAST_IS_RUNNING" != "instsys" ]; then # echo " doing rpm upgrade processing" # #echo "Novell XTier Base postun script starting novell-xregd for upgrade" # /etc/init.d/novell-xregd start # fi # echo "done running Novell XTier Base postun script!" # exit 0 #fi
In etc/init.d/novell-xregd, the function $START_DAEMON expects the name of the daemon as its first parameter, so we change the line
$START_DAEMON $START_DAEMON_FLAG $DAEMON_USER $DAEMON -d
into:
$START_DAEMON $DAEMON $START_DAEMON_FLAG $DAEMON_USER -d
Then we do the fakeroot ./debian/rules binary and the sudo dpkg -i ../novell-xtier-base_3.1.6-12_i386.deb.

The pre- and postinstall scripts are not idempotent yet, but we leave that for later. |
cd novell-novfsd-3.0.0-14.i586/novell-novfsd-3.0.0
The preinst script stops the service only when doing an install, which is apparently detected in an rpm by checking $1.
We make this unconditional, for the time being:
# unconditionalized for .deb #echo "novell-novfsd pre install script" #if [ "$1" != 1 ]; then /etc/init.d/novfsd stop || echo "NOVFSD not started" #fi exit 0
In the postinst script, we replace the RPM-style install_initd with deb-style update-rc.d:
#/usr/lib/lsb/install_initd -f /etc/init.d/novfsd # Debian/Ubuntu doesn't use intall_initd, it uses update-rc.d update-rc.d novfsd defaults
The prerm, like the preinst is made unconditional, and the remove_initd is replaced by update-rc.d:
# Unconditional in Debian/Ubuntu #if [ "$1" = 0 ]; then /etc/init.d/novfsd stop #/usr/lib/lsb/remove_initd /etc/init.d/novfsd update-rc.d -f novfsd remove #fi
...
as is the postrm:
# Unconditional in Debian/Ubuntu
#if [ "$1" = 0 ]; then
echo "novell-novfsd uninstall script"
# Remove symbolic link to init.d script
if [ -f /usr/sbin/rcnovfsd ] || [ -L /usr/sbin/rcnovfsd ]; then
rm -f /usr/sbin/rcnovfsd
fi
#fi
In etc/init.d/novfsd, we remove the rc_* functions at the end of the file: they don't exist in Debian/Ubuntu.
