Hmm. Workd for me on my athlon box without incident. Jeff, do you know what's going on here? Jeff, second call. Any idea what the problem may be? I haven't been able to reproduce this at all without changing the defaults. Tim Yes, the _arch macro was borked if redhat-rpm-config
not installed with rpm-4.1-1.06.
No longer a problem afaik.
There is gonna be a new problem with __db*
files in rpmdb-redhat.
Adding
%post
rm -f /usr/lib/rpmdb/%{_arch}-%{_vendor}-%{_os}/redhat/__db*
should fix
OK. This is in the current rpmdb-rebhat package which is in the latest Phoebe beta:
%post
rm -f %{rpmdbpath}/__db* > /dev/null 2>&1 || :
%preun
rm -f %{rpmdbpath}/__db* > /dev/null 2>&1 || :
So that should do it for future releases.
I'm closing this with the resolution as "rawhide" since Jeff provided the
information for how to work around the problem (re-install the rpmdb-redhat
package after rpm-4.1-1.06 is intalled), and since we're removing the lock files
after we install, and before we uninstall.

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: On my system, running: rpm --redhatprovides <package> Never produces a correct result. For example: rpm --redhatprovides gcc produces no package provides gcc The problem is caused by the macro expansion for "redhatprovides" in the file /usr/lib/rpm/rpmpopt-4.1 to specify the search path for the redhat rpmdb. The macro specifies the use of: /usr/lib/rpmdb/%{_arch}-%{_vendor}-%{_os}/redhat Which on my system expands to (using "rpm -E ..."): /usr/lib/rpmdb/i686-redhat-linux/redhat Which does not exist. The package "rpmdb-redhat" is installed instead under the path: /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat So I can attain the correct results by using the following command: rpm --dbpath /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/ -q --whatprovides gcc which produces the expected result: gcc-3.2-7 One simple "work-around" for the problem is to create a symbolic link under /usr/lib/rpmdb. The "rpmdb-redhat" package could be updated to create this link during installation using the same macro. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpmdb-redhat-8.0-0.20020910 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.rpm --redhatprovides rpm 2. 3. Actual Results: # rpm --redhatprovides rpm no package provides rpm # Expected Results: # rpm --redhatprovides rpm rpm-4.1-1.06 # Additional info:
