Hi,

I am running into an error

scriptlet failed, exit status 1

When attempting to install the rpm: gdfs-1.0.0-166.10.x86_64.rpm

Platform: CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core) 3.10.0-1160.15.2.el7.x86_64

Any thoughts what might be going wrong and how can I get it to fix?

It seems the el7 gdfs-1.0.0-166.10.x86_64.rpm installation errors were due to the service setup macros specific to SUSE, made the below changes to the spec file using the source RPM, rebuild it and the installation with newly build RPMs worked fine. with CentOS 7.9.

%pre
%if 0%{?suse_version}
    %service_add_pre gdfs.service
%endif

%post
%if 0%{?suse_version}
    %service_add_post gdfs.service
%else
    %systemd_post gdfs.service
%endif

%preun
%if 0%{?suse_version}
    %service_del_preun gdfs.service
%else
    %systemd_preun gdfs.service
%endif

%postun
%if 0%{?suse_version}
    %service_del_postun gdfs.service
%else
    %systemd_postun gdfs.service
%endif

Additionally made below changes to lib/request.h

 45   char access_token[2048];
 46   char refresh_token[512];

and below changes to lib/auth.cc

 64   char auth_token[2048];

in order to fix crash dump of "gauth" utility, when used to generate the "gdfs.auth", this seemed to have resolved the problem and noticed this fix is also mentioned and implemented by others before per Buffer Overflow
