rpm-libs is in PACKAGES/PACKAGESGR in anaconda packages that were released concurrent with the rpm update. |
Description of problem: I have been regularly rebuilding my install CD's to include a few extra RPMS. Since the last update, I have been unable to get a workable install, as the install CD always fails with a missing library "librpm-4.2.so". This appears to be a problem in anaconda's buildinstall script as I can see the following error when running it: <snip> Creating debug dir Patching python library... Removing unused python files in hdimage... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 344, in ? from exception import handleException File "/usr/lib/anaconda/exception.py", line 24, in ? import rpm ImportError: librpm-4.2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory done. </snip> When I look in the temporary '/tmp/treedir.????/instimage/usr/lib' directory that buildinstall creates, I can see that indeed, no librpm- 4.2.so is there?? The library is definitely on my machine when I do the build, and the 'upd-instroot' specifies to include the librpm library. The problem appears to be caused by the fact that 'rpm-libs' is not specified in the PACKAGES and PACKAGESGR lists inside the 'upd- instroot' script. When I added the 'rpm-libs' package to both these lists, the problem went away. Perhaps this is because the rpmlibs are now in their own RPM package and upd-instroot hasn't been changed to reflect this? How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. run anaconda's buildinstall and observe the 'missing librpm- 4.2.so' error 2. 3.
