Hi, When i install the openssh rpm ["rpm -i --excludedocs openssh-3.4p1-105.i586.rpm"] the following error message is displayed and the installation exits with a non-zero status. linux:~ # rpm -i --excludedocs /mnt/rpms/openssh-3.4p1-105.i586.rpm Updating etc/sysconfig/ssh... cat: .//usr/share/doc/packages/openssh/README.SuSE: No such file or directory execution of openssh-3.4p1-105 script failed, exit status 1 linux:~ # echo $? 1 The spec file for this openssh RPM has the following lines in the %post section %post %{fillup_and_insserv -n -s -y ssh sshd START_SSHD} mkdir -p ar/adm/notify/messages cat ./%{_defaultdocdir}/%{name}/README.SuSE

var/adm/notify/messages/%{name} -changes

Not sure, why the postinstall section is expecting the document to be present. Could you please help me out. The same installation goes through fine without the --excludedocs option. Does that mean that I can not use the --excludedocs option for this RPM ?
