Greetings, I've had a spot of trouble installing a recent proftpd source package. I currently have a binary package installed (though I don't see why I couldn't upgrade to a newer source one). Attempts listed below:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [root@xxxxx /root]# rpm --upgrade -vh proftpd-1.2.4-1mdk.src.rpm proftpd ################################################## [root@xxxxx /root]# rpm -qa | grep proftpd proftpd-1.2.2-2mdk [root@xxxxx /root]# rpm -ivvh proftpd-1.2.4-1mdk.src.rpm D: counting packages to install D: found 1 packages D: looking for packages to download D: retrieved 0 packages D: New Header signature D: Signature size: 149 D: Signature pad : 3 D: sigsize : 152 D: Header + Archive: 506915 D: expected size : 506915 D: found 1 source and 0 binary packages D: New Header signature D: Signature size: 149 D: Signature pad : 3 D: sigsize : 152 D: Header + Archive: 506915 D: expected size : 506915 D: installing a source package D: sources in: /usr/src/RPM/SOURCES D: spec file in: /usr/src/RPM/SPECS D: file: proftpd-1.2.2-conf.patch.bz2 action: unknown D: file: proftpd-1.2.2-ldap.patch.bz2 action: unknown D: file: proftpd-1.2.4.tar.bz2 action: unknown D: file: proftpd.init action: unknown D: file: proftpd.logrotate action: unknown D: file: proftpd.spec action: unknown D: file: proftpd.xinetd action: unknown proftpd #################################################GZDIO: 63 reads, 508348 total bytes in 0.162 secs # [root@xxxxx /root]# rpm -qa | grep proftpd proftpd-1.2.2-2mdk ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Does this mean there's a problem with the package? I welcome pointers to appropriate documentation, or a more appropriate forum to ask this question if it doesn't belong here. -Brian
