Description Tim Waugh 2003-01-10 16:14:59 UTC 
Description of problem:
Some packages appear half-installed; packages are there, but rpm -q denies them.
 This happens after a fresh install.

Steps to Reproduce:
Log in as root, then run this:

diff -du <(sed -ne 's/^.* \(.*\)\.$/\1/p' install.log | sort) <(rpm -qa | sort)
    
Actual results:
Output.

Expected results:
No output.

Jeff, to update based on what you asked me to look for

The test for the nptl environment is failing and it is falling back to use
DB_PRIVATE.

Also, there are the correct number of rpmdbAdd mentions in the log.
Comment 12 Tim Waugh 2003-01-11 17:35:00 UTC 
Jeremy: I am seeing missing packages before *any* rpm CLI commands after
install.  Immediately after install and reboot, log in as root and run the
command from the first comment.  I see 371 missing packages pretty consistently.

Adding a time estimate and moving to ASSIGNED.
