However, with openSUSE 11.3 is doesn't appear to work any more. This appears to be a regression.

On this machine, the following rpms place files in /etc/rpm: gconf2-2.28.1-3.4.x86_64 jpackage-utils-1.7.5-19.1.x86_64 kde4-filesystem-4.5.1-113.1.x86_64 kernel-devel-2.6.34.4-0.1.1.noarch mkinitrd-2.6.0-2.3.x86_64 perl-5.12.1-2.1.1.x86_64 python-base-2.6.5-2.14.x86_64 ruby-1.8.7.p249-7.1.x86_64 tcl-8.5.8-4.53.x86_64 update-desktop-files-11.3-1.2.noarch -- 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.

It still reads /etc/rpm, the it's the repackaging code that is gone. -- 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.

OK, then. That is a whole 'nuther ball of wax. That sucks, though, as repackaging was (potentially) extremely useful. Honestly, I wish I had it yesterday when the new kernel update made one of the four machines unbootable. -- 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.
