Fixed In Version: rpm-4.8.0-40.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Under certain circumstances, the rpm utility incorrectly required the /proc file system to be mounted, and using rpm failed with the following error: warning: Failed to read auxiliary vector, /proc not mounted? With this update, the /proc file system is only required for appropriate RPM operations, and the described failure no longer occurs.
