I think this is a name != nvr issue rpm --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}.rpm\n' -qp jdk-1_5_0_02-linux-i586.rpm My personal suggestion would be to use the jpackage nosrc.rpm to build the sun rpms from the binary installer (non-rpm). RHEL 4 and Fedora java/gcj are designed to be compatible with JPackage standards, so this would allow you to switch jdks using alternatives with ones provided via RHAPS or the RHEL Extras http://jpackage.org/rpm.php?id=2546 http://jpackage.org/faq.php http://jpackage.org/rebuilding.php The problem is that you can get the error for a variety of reasons and the naming being wrong is just the tip of the iceberg. Things get handled a little bit better in the devel tree, though. So are nicer error messages out of the question then, for Anaconda? This seems like a pretty worthy issue to resolve, especially since Anaconda is not very well documented, imho. This is/was a "name != nvr issue". |
