Note this is a problem even if you install every package with --excludedocs, since the %post scripts call install-info regardless. And do not forget the %_netsharedpath macro... See bug #51193 and https://www.redhat.com/mailman/private/rpm-list/2003-May/msg00301.html also. /usr/share/info is provided by the filesystem package. The issue is not the existence of the directory /usr/share/info, but rather, the failure of the program install-info to operate when /usr/share/info/dir is not present, as will be the case when you install all packages with --excludedocs. I can provide a log of the installation if you would like to see just how messed up it gets. Possible solution: if texinfo is installed --excludedocs then replace install-info with a do-nothing script. I'm going to close this, since I don't see justification for installing all packages with --excludedocs and then installing a documentation viewer. |
