The problem might be that rpmlint needs cpio to unpack the rpms (rpm2cpio ... | cpio -id). And there is no cpio package when building cpio itself ;-). Try adding

When using that line alone, nothing happened. Maybe I was defaulting to the openSUSE:11.0 config, and my one line config overrode that? In any case, I copied the openSUSE:11.0 config and used it in my project, added the line you suggest, and now cpio does build. Thanks for that. When I get bootstrapped with base packages, I want to delete my repo reference to openSUSE:11.0, so my own repo becomes self sufficient. That didn't work before either. Maybe using my own project config will fix that too. I hope so. For anyone trying to bootstrap their own distro, the docs leave many questions unanswered. The OBS system, and especially the web interface, is very slow. Too much scripting probably. Why people try to build large scale systems from scripting goop like Ruby and Python, is a mystery to me. I had two packages in showing finished status for at least 30 minutes before they succeeded.
