Description Tim Waugh 2000-01-22 11:34:54 UTC

From menu: Operations->Install.
Bang.  Window disappears.

Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2000-01-22 11:37:59 UTC

And .xsession-errors says:

gnorpm: error in loading shared libraries: gnorpm: undefined symbol: fdOpen

Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2000-01-24 12:40:59 UTC

This problem does not occur with
	gnorpm-0.9-12
	rpm-3.0.4-0.31
I believe it was due to gnorpm being compiled against the wrong version of rpm.

Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2000-01-24 12:59:59 UTC

Sorry, I still get it.

[tim@turmoil tim]$ rpm -q gnorpm rpm
gnorpm-0.9-12
rpm-3.0.4-0.33

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2000-02-02 10:18:59 UTC

One big datapoint I forgot to mention: I hadn't mounted the CD.  *Literally*,
don't do anything but start GnoRPM, hit install, and select 'Only newer
packages'.

Comment 5 Tim Waugh 2000-02-08 15:44:59 UTC

This still happens in piglet.

Comment 6 Elliot Lee 2000-02-14 22:02:59 UTC

FWIW, can't reproduce with gnorpm-0.9-14 and rpm-3.0.4-0.38

Comment 7 Tim Waugh 2000-02-15 10:26:59 UTC

Sorry, but it still happens here with those versions of gnorpm and rpm.  Did you
try with no CD in the drive?

Comment 8 Tim Waugh 2000-02-22 21:53:59 UTC

I can _still_ reproduce this with piglet-0222.

1. Make sure there is no CD-ROM in the drive.
2. Start gnorpm.
3. Hit 'Install'.
4. Change the filter to anything else.

I know there is no CD-ROM in the drive, and I know there is supposed to be.  But
new users _will_ do this!

Comment 9 Tim Waugh 2000-08-11 13:46:44 UTC

This no longer happens in the latest build.
