Hello Mike,

Okay get ready for a real fat email. I think it will be of the most help to
you if you send all the following info at once, seeing that we are in
different time zones (I think).

First, make sure that there is no file called '.rpmmacros' in your home
directory (check for /root/.rpmmacros, /.rpmmacros, $HOME/.rpmmacros,
~/.rpmmacros, ...). If you find one, then show it to this mailing list.
Rename it or move it away and try building again.

Please copy the contents of your /openpkg/etc/openpkg/rpmmacros file to your
email as well.

Then please completely erase /openpkg/RPM/TMP/apache-1.3.29/, log in as root
and do the following:

  # /openpkg/bin/openpkg rpm --rebuild 
ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/2.0/SRC/apache-1.3.29-2.0.0.src.rpm
  # find /openpkg/RPM/TMP/apache-1.3.29/ -exec ls -ld {} \; 2>/dev/null
  # id

That means to manually delete the remnant build temporary files, try
building apache again (with no options whatsoever), get a complete detailed
listing of the temporary files the new apache build generated, and lastly
see the actual privileges that the effective user has.

Run the following commands to help me see if your OpenPKG Instanz is
healthy:

  # /openpkg/bin/openpkg rpm -qi openpkg
  # /openpkg/bin/openpkg rpm -Va

Show if your prefix directory is a link:

  # ls -ld /openpkg

And tell us if you are mounting /openpkg onto its own slice or if it is
simply a directory in your root slice. Also, are you mounting it over NFS?

Lastly, please copy to the end of your email a copy of the following listing:

  # find /openpkg/RPM/TMP/ -exec ls -ld {} \; 2>/dev/null

I want you to do that because I still suspect a problem with permissions,
and that RPM can't write the file called 'files' to a certain location.

Although I personally like the openpkg-tool Package, I recommend that you
solve the above problems before installing it. That way you can be more
specific when diagnosing.
