Update to 8.7.10 - script failure on memcache package test

[andreaswolske]

I tried to update from 8.7.7 to 8.7.10 on RHEL 7.x using Zimbra repos. First thing was a yum update. Then I started the installer as usual.
The installation process failed with an error message:

Code: Select all

no package zimbra-memcached-1:1.4.37-1zimbra8.7b2.el7 available.

After digging a bit I found an error in the installer utility script packages.sh.

The error is in zcs-NETWORK-8.7.10_GA_1829.RHEL7_64.20170524161336/util/modules/packages.sh

It seems that there's a special section for the memcache package which doesn't parse the installed version exactly.
This leads tho a wrong package name: zimbra-memcached-1:1.4.37-1zimbra8.7b2.el7 - The error is the 1:.
If I set the package name manually it works:

Code: Select all

$PACKAGEDOWNLOAD zimbra-memcached=$MEMCACHEDVER >> $LOGFILE 2>&1
         else
            MEMCACHEDVER=`yum --showduplicates list zimbra-memcached | \
               grep "zimbra$ZM_INST_MAJOR.$ZM_INST_MINOR" | head -n1 | \
               awk '{print $2}'`
            [b]MEMCACHEDVER="1.4.37-1zimbra8.7b2.el7"[/b]
            echo "Downloading Remote package zimbra-memcached version $MEMCACHEDVER";
            yum downgrade --downloadonly --assumeyes zimbra-memcached-$MEMCACHEDVER >> $LOGFILE 2>&1
         fi
         if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
            echo "Unable to download packages zimbra-memcached from repository. System is not modified."

The better version to parse the installed version on yum based OSes would be:

Code: Select all

MEMCACHEDVER=`yum --showduplicates list zimbra-memcached | \                                                                                                                                        
               grep "zimbra$ZM_INST_MAJOR.$ZM_INST_MINOR" | head -n1 | \
               awk '{print $2}'`.`uname -i`

I also opened a bug report: https://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=108077

Just in case somebody else is stumbling upon this issue.

I have encountered the same problem and use the same trick.

Hi guys,
Did this happened in ZCS 8.7.11 as well for you?

Best regards

Hi guys,

Yep: the test in packages.sh is still the same for yum based OSes:

Code: Select all

yum --showduplicates list zimbra-memcached | \
grep "zimbra$ZM_INST_MAJOR.$ZM_INST_MINOR" | head -n1 | \
awk '{print $2}'

returns a wrong package name: 1:1.4.37-1zimbra8.7b2.el7 - the leading "1:1.4.37-1" is the problem.

BTW: There's a test on Ubuntu before which considers the ":" an returns the correct name.

Yep, 8.7.11 for me, on two distinct customers.
