[Pkg-fedora-ds-maintainers] Bug#775550: 389-ds-base: Update fails when /var mounted on different filesystem than /etc

[Michal Kaspar]

Package: 389-ds-base
Version: 1.3.3.5-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
When updating package 389-ds-base, update fails and leaves directory server in uconfigured state if /var is mounted on separate filesystem. There is no apparent error, but changing /var/lib/dpkg/info/389-ds-base.postinst
        setup-ds -l $OUT -u -s General.UpdateMode=offline > $OUT 2>&1
to
        setup-ds -l $OUT -u -s General.UpdateMode=offline
reveals the problem in this postinst script. The error is:
Could not rename config file '/etc/dirsrv/slapd-KASPAR-IN/slapd-collations.conf' to '/var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-KASPAR-IN/bak.bak/slapd-collations.conf'.  Error: Invalid cross-device link
Creating symlink /etc/dirsrv/bak -> /var/lib/dirsrv/salpd-instance/{bak,bak.bak} resolves the problem but it's not exactly elegant solution.
