Fix/workaround for --excludepath
Actually this bug exists in RedHat Linux 9 also (not only in rawhide).
Problem is in fact, that --excludepath option is processed in rpmfi.c around
line 788 (function relocateFileList called from rpmfiNew). But FA_SKIPNSTATE
flags added in relocateFileList due to '--excludepath' option are discarded in
transaction.c around line 1528 in function rpmtsRun. Note that at this place,
old fi->actions saved at line 1512 contains only FA_SKIPNSTATE due to
--excludedocs/--excludeconf.
As quick workaround to restore --excludepath functionality it is needed to copy
FA_SKIPNSTATE flags from fi-actions to actions before freeing fi-actions at
line 1528.
This is fixed in (at least) rpm-4.2.2. Your analysis was mostly correct, but the real problem was elsewhere. |

Here's a demo with SysVinit on a devfs enabled system.

That's the only version available to select. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.rpm -Uvh --excludepath 2. 3. Additional info:
