I've noticed recently that when doing yum update that includes font
packages, I see a big white box flash on the screen then disappear.
Perhaps it is my root window/background changing to white, I'm not
sure. It happens too quickly for me to tell what it is or what is
causing it.
I just noticed this when installing a single package with rpm
directly:
java-1.6.0-sun-fonts-1.6.0.11-1jpp.i586.rpm
I tried running each part of the %post scriptlet in that package but
it doesn't happen when running these manually:
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
{
# Legacy font handling
/usr/bin/ttmkfdir -d /usr/share/fonts/java -o /usr/share/fonts/java/fonts.scale
# Mandrake workaround
/usr/bin/perl -pi -e 's at 0-c-0@0-p-0 at g' /usr/share/fonts/java/fonts.scale
/usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir -e /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings -e /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/large /usr/share/fonts/java
/usr/sbin/chkfontpath -q -a /usr/share/fonts/java
# The following commands will be executed on upgrade by their respective
# packages
# Late legacy font handling
if [ -x /usr/bin/redhat-update-gnome-font-install ] ; then
/usr/bin/redhat-update-gnome-font-install
fi
if [ -x /usr/bin/redhat-update-gnome-font-install2 ] ; then
/usr/bin/redhat-update-gnome-font-install2
fi
# Modern font handling
if [ -x /usr/bin/fc-cache ] ; then
/usr/bin/fc-cache -f /usr/share/fonts
fi
} || :
Maybe its a trigger script? How would I find out?
