Well, I think that there is a kind of default behavior in this case and all the RPMs present in the package/$name/RPMS directory are then copyed and installed ? >From what I know, the config.xml of mpich does not have any <rpmlist> tag and it worked before... > 2) Once the mpich RPMs were included, update-rpms failed to install > mpich as it incorrectly reported a missing dependency.
