Ray and Michael,
This is an RPM issue. On debian that directory gets removed before the
install.
Ray is correct. The old copyright directory is still there and should
either be renamed or just removed. In 1.3.0 Fossology replaced the
copyright agent with a newer one that no longer used the directory of
the 1.2.1 version. It's too late now, but our RPM's should have checked
for that and removed it...
Hope that helps. Micheal, you are ALMOST there! Keep at it.

I forgot about that. Yes, I had a similar error. I renamed the
copyright directory to copyright.OLD and tried again.
And after the install there was an issue with an unusually named
copyright directory. So you may want to check for another
copyright.XXXX (X can be 0-9 or a-z) directory that was created around
the time of the first install and remove it.
Mary may recall why that weird copyright directory caused an issue.

Okay. I added p7zip-plugins which was needed and ran rpm --Uvh
fossology-1.3...rpm and got the following error:
# rpm -Uvh fossology-1.3.0-1.el5.i386.rpm
Preparing...

Any ideas?

Hi Michael,
We have not tested this. To be safe, I would do as this fossology
(rpm) user proposed:
I'll backup the database (filesystem level backup plus a dump of the
database. Then can I simply perform an rpm
-Uvh fossology-1.3.0-1.el5.x86_64.rpm followed by a rpm -Uvh
fossology-1.4.0-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
Also, Be sure to start the scheduler after upgrade #1. Bring up the
UI and browse your repository to verify all is well before proceeding
with the 1.4.0 upgrade.
Please let us know how it goes.
Thanks,
Mary
