[Bug 721338] Re: pam and GLIBC_PRIVATE errors in cronie after glibc upgrade

[Gregory Burd]

I don't believe the triggerin in this patch will execute at the
appropriate time.  The intent is to restart cron when glibc is
installed, not when cronie,vixie-cron,hc-cron,fcron,mcron are installed
as is the case in the current patch (http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-
bin/cvsweb.cgi/packages/glibc/glibc.spec.diff?r1=1.892;r2=1.893;f=h).  I
believe that the line should have been.

%triggerin -- glibc,glibc-common

Do I misunderstand how this directive works or the intent of this fix,
or is this in fact an oversight that can cause those upgrades to have
cron silently disabled until it is restarted?

  this has started after i upgraded glibc in system:

  my previous glibc was 2.12.1:

  # rpm -q glibc --blink
  glibc-2.13-1.x86_64.rpm
  <= glibc-2.12.1-8.x86_64.rpm
