Isn't the answer to any --relocate question "don't use --relocate"? More seriously, what are you using relocation support for? (In reply to comment #2) > Isn't the answer to any --relocate question "don't use --relocate"? > > More seriously, what are you using relocation support for? Well, I agree that it is not really used by package mainteiners (I have not found any relocatable package in current RHEL7 and one maybe two in RHEL6). The issue is that it is a feature that worked in RHEL6, so it suppose to work also in RHEL7. --relocate is indeed a grande PITA but its not something we can just rip out as numerous 3rd party packages pretty much rely on it being there :-/ The issue here is not --relocate itself, its --badreloc that's not working. Easily reprocuced, I'll have a look. FWIW fixed upstream now, should be easily backportable: http://rpm.org/gitweb?p=rpm.git;a=commitdiff;h=4fbb58c7e6ee7d1bb565b27e4f81dcf2fee93995 Fixed in rpm-4.10.1-1.el7. This request was resolved in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0. Contact your manager or support representative in case you have further questions about the request. |
Description of problem: rpm -ivh --badreloc --relocate '/usr/bin=/tmp/tmp.gVVF7ufa4M/bin' --relocate '/usr/share=/tmp/tmp.gVVF7ufa4M/share' relocatable-package*.rpm does not install the pkg and return error Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.9.1.3-7.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.
