=============================
But if I do either of these, it gives me ...
"error: cannot open Packages index using db1 - No such file or directory (2)
error: cannot open Packages database in /home/vsd/vs/vsone/var/lib/rpm"
Its obviously expecting to find a packages database in the skel / virtual
server but can't find one. I tried --rebuilddb with --root but that
gives...
"error: cannot open Packages index"
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
