https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=256843 Summary: The checkinstall script fails on second run Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: PC OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Development AssignedTo: pth@novell.com ReportedBy: robin.listas@telefonica.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Situation: run checkinstall once, keeping the generated "spec" file. Then run a second time; for instance: | This package will be built according to these values: | | 1 - Summary: [ gxine translations ] | 2 - Name: [ trans-gxine ] | 3 - Version: [ 1.1.4 ] | 4 - Release: [ 1 ] | 5 - License: [ GPL ] | 6 - Group: [ Compilaciones/translations ] | 7 - Architecture: [ noarch ] | 8 - Source location: [ po ] | 9 - Alternate source location: [ ] | 10 - Requires: [ ] | 11 - Provides: [ trans-gxine ] | I change "Release:" to "2" and accept. I check (ls /var/tmp) that the temporary directory is "/var/tmp/checkinstall.cZ9145/". As I have my settings to see the spec file, I see this: | Release: 1 | BuildRoot: /var/tmp/checkinstall.ok4321/package which is the first run location, and obviously, it fails: | ln: creating symbolic link `/var/tmp/checkinstall.ok4321/package': | No such file or directory | | Building RPM package... FAILED! because this time the files are in "/var/tmp/checkinstall.cZ9145/package" instead. Also, the change I did to the release number did not get into the spec file. (I maintain the spec file because I want to keep the settings from one install to the next, I'm doing modifications; I could delete it, but then it will not keep track of release number and such). Hack: edit each time the spec file to the correct place. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
