Hi,
I'm experiencing a number of issues / weirdness with rpm packages
lately.
1) The new mandrake packages I mirroring from sunsite.uio.no are
weird. I'm not using the word corrupt, because they might not be.
The buildoutputs (of a rpm --rebuild) all carry the same message:
===
source package expected, binary found
Installing
/mirrors/mandrake-devel/SRPMS/CodeCommander-0.6.11-1mdk.src.rpm
===
A rpm -qipl gives:
===
rpm -qipl CodeCommander-0.6.11-1mdk.src.rpm
Name : CodeCommander Relocations: (not
relocateable)
Version : 0.6.11 Vendor: MandrakeSoft
Release : 1mdk Build Date: Wed 21 Jun 2000
04:33:05 PM CEST
Install date: (not installed) Build Host:
kenobi.mandrakesoft.com
Group : Editors Source RPM: (none)
Size : 427142 License: GPL
Packager : Vincent Danen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
URL : http://CodeCommander.sourceforge.net/
Summary : CodeCommander - The Ultimate Programming IDE
Description :
Code Commander is a simple text editing tool for editing nearly any type
of
source code.
CodeCommander-0.6.11.tar.bz2
CodeCommander.spec
===
Which seems to be very normal.
Installing the source package gives:
===
rpm -i CodeCommander-0.6.11-1mdk.src.rpm
failed to open /var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm: Permission denied
error: cannot open /var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm
===
Which is weird.
MD5sum is the same on sunsite.uio.no, ftp.sunet.se and in the /SRPMS/
directory on Mandrake's dp264.
(For the buildoutputs see:
http://d10179.dtk.chello.nl/build/cooker/alpha/broken/
http://d10179.dtk.chello.nl/build/cooker/i586/broken/
)
So... I'm wondering what is going on. Are these packages not
backwards compatible? (Even my system with the latest rpm-* packages
installed can't handle them).
2) Building rpm's still gives:
Failed to find Provides:
PreReq: /sbin/install-info /sbin/ldconfig
Processing files: ORBit-devel-0.5.1-2mdk
Finding Provides: (using /usr/lib/rpm/find-provides)...
line 176: Dependency tokens must begin with alpha-numeric, '_' or '/':
(well,... no. The info file has not dir info inside, commented out)
This also happens on mandrake's 264dp system.
3) The make-install issue. I beleive this one is being worked on.

4) libtools like problem. Maybe this one is related to the make-install
one.
This is what happens:
===
Remember to add `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' to `configure.in'.
Using `AC_PROG_RANLIB' is rendered obsolete by `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL'
You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to
`aclocal.m4'.

I'd really love to get Issue #2 fixed. Until those errors start
disapearing
I'm holding back a bit with building & installing stuff (once you
--force a
rpm your system is practically baked).
Anyway, Keep up the good work!!!
