That operation used to work at least as of 27 July 2006. The latest RPM update (installed 11 August 2006) appears to have broken it.
How to test:
very easy:
1. be root 2. mkdir /some_empty_directory 3. rpm --root=/some_empty_directory --initdb
That operation /used/ to work, and no longer does. The operation is very important to building a chroot.
Using: rpm-4.4.2-76 on openSUSE 10.2 (fully up-to-date as of this writing) the instructions: 1. be root 2. mkdir -p /some_empty_directory/var/lib/rpm 3. rpm --root=/some_empty_directory --initdb Works just peachy! -- 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.
