In the very begining 6.0 installation script, installation try to find rpmdatabase in /var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm But on my system /var is a link to /tmp_var/var (I've got one filesystem to /var and /tmp, /tpm is an other link to /tpm_var/tmp). I think, installation try to find packages.rpm on /mnt/var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm but for me, it will become /tmp_var/var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm and this file is not find out there. It shoud be /mnt/tmp_var/var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm So instalation failed. If I recreate a normal /var every think is allright !
Installer is unable to find the RPM database when it is located on a symbolically linked volume. This issue has been forwarded to the installer developer for further action.
Make sure you use a relative link as in cd / ln -sf tmpvar/var var Please reopen if this doesn't fix the problem.
It's already a symbolic link !
This issue is a result of the symbolic link being absolute instead of relative. This is what causes the problem. Changing the link from an absolute to a relative link will solve the problem.
