Your xbill test case "works" with (about to be built) rpm-4.2.1-0.30. I know of no reason why the test case shouldn/t ... work with every version since rpm-4.1, but have not looked. BTW -0.31, not -0.30. Doesn't work on a clean RH9. rpm-4.2-0.69. popt-1.8-0.69. This time , rpm doesn't even exclude one directory. All the files exist on the system. Yes, doesn't work on RH9. Yes, fixed in -0.31 REOPENING is not your best avenue to fix. Try installing -0.30. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3.1) Gecko/20030425 Description of problem: I'm sure this is not the first bug about --excludepath but i would like to some all the problems i'm seeing. 1.rpm-3x had --excludepath as an option but didn't work at all. 2.rpm-4x has this option and generally works with one directory but there are still gliches(like rpm-4.1-1.06) 3.Only rpm-4.0.2-8(which came with RH7.1) has the ability to exclude multiple directories. Weird , i looked at the code and it seems a fix for multiple exclude is there(diffs between rpm-4.0 to 4.0.2-8) " case GETOPT_EXCLUDEPATH: if (*optArg != '/') argerror(_("exclude paths must begin with a /")); relocations = xrealloc(relocations, sizeof(*relocations) * (numRelocations + 1)); relocations[numRelocations].oldPath = optArg; relocations[numRelocations++].newPath = NULL; break;" but when i check if these lines are in rpm-4.0.3 they exist and still it doesn't work. Maybe its a problem with popt or some other external library? Please , formally , Is there a way to -excludepath multiple directories or not? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.1-1.06 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Prepare an rpm to check on(xbill-2.0-16.i386.rpm for example) 2.Remove any xbill's on the system. 3.rpm ivh xbill-2.0.16.i386.rpm --excludepath=/usr --excludepath=/var 3.Check if /usr/lib/xbill exist and if /var/lib/games/xbill exists. 4.Check that only /etc/X11/applnk/Games/xbill.desktop exists. Actual Results: Problem - rpm excluded /var only Expected Results: only /etc/X11/applnk/Games/xbill.desktop exists. Additional info: Ilan Shufer - ilan
