Description Jeremy Katz 2001-01-18 07:42:40 UTC

adding additional signatures seems to be broken with rpm 4.0.2.

Comment 1 Glen Foster 2001-01-18 21:26:43 UTC

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

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2001-01-22 07:09:30 UTC

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 15:13:03 UTC

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 12:10:12 UTC

This should be fixed in rpm-4.0.2 final.
