Description Jeremy Katz 2001-01-18 02:42:40 EST

adding additional signatures seems to be broken with rpm 4.0.2.

xinetd-2.1.8.9pre11-1.i386.rpm:

Comment 1 Glen Foster 2001-01-18 16:26:43 EST

This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Beta-3

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2001-01-22 02:09:30 EST

Note that this only happens when you have an RPM which was created and signed by
an older version of RPM that you then add a signature too.  In this case, the
HEADER_IMAGE tag exists, but we don't want to subtract the offset from the sigsize

Comment 3 Jeff Johnson 2001-01-22 10:13:03 EST

This is a legacy issue with old packages, sign with rpm-4.0 or earlier as
workaround.

Deferred until after 7.1.

Comment 4 Jeff Johnson 2001-04-03 08:10:12 EDT

This should be fixed in rpm-4.0.2 final.
