Umm, okay, but how did you fix it? Do you need to remake the RPM (with a
corrected spec file) or simply rename the RPM? Won't renaming the RPM
cause other problems (like package X depends on package Y but we just
renamed package Y to Z)? Of course, that might not come up, depending on
which packages have the error...
If this is the cause of the error, rather than attempting an install and
seeing where the error occurs, it'd probably be easier to check the
package name/RPM name correspondence before burning.
#!/bin/bash
cd /exports/mirrors/Mandrake/cooker/Mandrake/RPMS
for file in *.rpm
do
rpm -qpi $file | gawk -v FN=$file \
'{if ( $3 != substr(FN, 1, length($3)) ) print $3, FN; exit}'
done
