If you truly want a version of rpm-4.0.2 with working --relocate, then tyou need to build your own with the patch from rpm-4.0.3-0.6. There are two routines in lib/transaction.c that need fixes, not hard. Before doing that, I suggest that current rpm-4.0.3 (-0.89 is building now), is a better choice, as the 'development" in rpm-4.0.3 stopped like 2 months ago, since then has been largely (and sometimes large ) bug fixes. At this point, rpm-4.0.3 is the best bits I got. Yes rpm-4.0.3 is know to upgrad db1 -> db3. The messages about creating directories are harmless, the directories have always been created, rpm-4.0.3 ]now just warns you. Removed all permission from this bug so everyone can see it. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.6-3.1 i686) Description of problem: I think I would like to get a 4.0.2 version of rpm. It doesn't have to be official, just needs to have the --relocate fix in it. I am nervous about using the 4.0.3 version since it is the "development" version. Just an FYI, in 4.0.2 (6x) --relocate was broken; in 4.0.3-0.6.6x you couldn't update a db1 to a db3 with --rebuilddb and in 4.0.3-0.57.6x you get lots of warnings about creating directories with 0755 permissions. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install the updated version of rpm for 6.2 2. 3. Additional info: Original message sent to me: We > > have incorporated all of the 6.2 security patches into > > our system. However, rpm-4.0.2-6x (the security update > > for rpm) does not work with the --relocate flag which > > we need to install our EMC rpm (bugzilla #42873). This > > is fixed in rpm-4.0.3 but I can't install this on a > > 6.2 system without breaking a number of other dependencies > > (glibc, etc....). Do you know if there is a 4.0.2 version > > with the fix?
