Description Jan Hutař 2008-06-11 07:22:26 UTC

get "File not found by glob" error message. Installing from "normal" URLs works 
fine.

How reproducible:

Can the reporter please give a real url for me to test this with?

Hello,
you can test on:

rpm -ivh 'http://people.redhat.com/~varekova/gzip-1.3.3-16.rhel4.test.i386.rpm'

I was not able to reproduce on the F10, but was on RHEL-5.3.
