Description Carlos Rodrigues 2001-02-03 17:37:06 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.1-3 i686)


When I try to force the relocation of some package directories with
--badreloc together with --relocate <orig>=<new> it refuses to install the
package.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. "rpm -Uvh --badreloc --relocate /usr/doc=/usr/share/doc somepackage.rpm"
where somepackage.rpm has files/directories in /usr/doc	

Actual Results:  rpm said that /usr/sharedoc conflicted with some other
package(s) already installed.

Expected Results:  It should of put the files that sould be put in
/usr/doc, in /usr/share/doc

I'm using Redhat 7.0 with the rpm-* packages from Redhat public beta
<fisher> (rpm-4.0.2)

Fixed in CVS, will be in rpm-4.0.3-0.4 and later.
