Description Rob Landry 2001-08-08 15:40:33 EDT 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.6-3.1 i686)

Description of problem:
I think I would like to get a 4.0.2 version of rpm.
It doesn't have to be official, just needs to have
the --relocate fix in it.  I am nervous about using
the 4.0.3 version since it is the "development" version.
Just an FYI, in 4.0.2 (6x) --relocate was broken; in
4.0.3-0.6.6x you couldn't update a db1 to a db3 with
--rebuilddb and in 4.0.3-0.57.6x you get lots of warnings
about creating directories with 0755 permissions.


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install the updated version of rpm for 6.2
2.
3.

If you truly want a version of rpm-4.0.2 with working
--relocate, then tyou need to build your own with the
patch from rpm-4.0.3-0.6. There are two routines in
lib/transaction.c that need fixes, not hard.

Before doing that, I suggest that current rpm-4.0.3 (-0.89
is building now), is a better choice, as the 'development"
in rpm-4.0.3 stopped like 2 months ago, since then has
been largely (and sometimes large ) bug fixes. At this
point, rpm-4.0.3 is the best bits I got.

Yes rpm-4.0.3 is know to upgrad db1 -> db3. 
The messages about creating directories are harmless,
the directories have always been created, rpm-4.0.3
]now just warns you.
