Description Jan Hutař 2008-06-11 07:22:26 UTC
Description of problem:
When I try to install package from http:// when there is a "~" in the URL, I 
get "File not found by glob" error message. Installing from "normal" URLs works 
fine.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-4.4.2.3-2.fc9.x86_64


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. # rpm -ivh 'http://server/~user/repo/package-3.1.0.320-1.i386.rpm'


Actual results:
error: File not found by glob: http://server/~user/repo/
package-3.1.0.320-1.i386.rpm


Expected results:
package is installed


Additional info:
Package itself is ok and installable:
# wget 'http://server/~user/repo/package-3.1.0.320-1.i386.rpm'
...

Can the reporter please give a real url for me to test this with?

Hello,
you can test on:

rpm -ivh 'http://people.redhat.com/~varekova/gzip-1.3.3-16.rhel4.test.i386.rpm'

I was not able to reproduce on the F10, but was on RHEL-5.3.
