relocatable packages using rpm 4.0 on Solaris   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #12953 of 26827 |
Hi,

when relocatable packages are installed I get strange directories.
somepkg.rpm contains a directory /prefix/subdir and is installed
using:

rpm --root=/somedir --prefix=/xyz --install somepkg.rpm

I get a "/somedir/xyzsubdir" (missing /). Everything else seems to
be correct.

A "file does not exist" message is the result from

rpm --root=/somedir -qf /somedir/xyzsubdir

It is a rpm 4.0 on Solaris 2.6. It worked fine with rpm 3.0.3. It
does not help to add a "/" to the prefix argument (--prefix=/xyz/).
Not to bad but strange.
