Hi, I am trying to locally build a package for Fedora17, on a openSUSE 12.1 host. The package builds fine in the build service, but when I run osc build Fedora_17 x86_64 joe.spec it fails with [...] initializing rpm db... chroot: failed to run command `rpm': No such file or directory (see complete output below) I have verified that rpm is missing in the build root: suse2:/var/tmp/build-root # ls bin/ |grep rpm rpm2cpio rpmdb rpmkeys rpmquery rpmsign rpmverify How can I get rpm into the build root? Also I notice quite a few errors with " Cannot extract through symlink ", among these is rpm. How can I fix this?
