What were you upgrading from? Packaging of egcs-6.2-1.1.2.11.i386.rpm was borken, but that was never shipped anywhere outside of beta. This occurred during a test of up2date/rhn. The compat-egcs in the tree as of yesterday was pushed to the rhn server used by QA. I was upgrading from RHL7.0 to RHL7.0.95 (release candidate of sorts). These messages then occurred. Is there a newer compat-egcs that will be going on the CDs? We are almost at the time to cut the golden masters. I've just tried rpm -Uvh on a 7.0 box and without any problems upgraded to the 7.1 rpms, so I guess RHN guys should look at this. Note that /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66 subtree does not exist at all in 7.0 and is populated with symlinks on 7.1. rpm does not support replacing directories with a symlink even if in a sub-tree. Yeah, but there are no files in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/ other than 2.96 in 7.0 (ie. there is neither a subdirectory nor a symlink egcs-2.91.66). In the current compat-egcs there is /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66 directory with symlinks. I really have no idea why the error message appears. this error also occurs for an upgrade from 6.2 ja -> qa0327.0 (ja) ... Upgrading compat-egcs. unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/include: cpio: unlink failed - Is a directory This occurs for compat-egcs-5.2-1.0.3a.1 ... [root@test176 /tmp]# rpm -q compat-egcs compat-egcs-5.2-1.0.3a.1 [root@test176 /tmp]# find /mnt/cdrom/ -name "compat-egcs*rpm" /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/compat-egcs-objc-5.2-1.0.3a.1.i386.rpm /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/compat-egcs-c++-5.2-1.0.3a.1.i386.rpm /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/compat-egcs-5.2-1.0.3a.1.i386.rpm /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/compat-egcs-g77-5.2-1.0.3a.1.i386.rpm [root@test176 /tmp]# Ouch, I forgot /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.1.96/include used to be included in 6.2. Please try compat-egcs-6.2-1.1.2.13 and related packages. /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.1.96/include is now back a directory containing symlinks to the header files instead of a symlink to directory with headers. I've also included /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/bin/i386-glibc21-linux-env.sh script which should be sourced (using . ) into current shell to get the transparent compatibility build environment (e.g. for Oracle). I suspect this is a non issue after 7.1 - closing out, reopen if it still happens |
