Hi,
I am not sure why this works - but I have been trying 1.4b4 on RH 7.3 for
a while and we get errors during the rpm install. I went through the log
file and cut and paste the rpm -Uvh command to see which package was
giving problems. The command breaks into two for some reasong - as though
there is a carriage return in there somewhere - maybe the command is too
long.
The command and error I am talking about are :
Couldn't run rpm -Uhv /tftpboot/rpm/PyXML-0.7-4.i386.rpm

I fixed this by making it install the packaes one at a time by going into
Package.pm and
replacing
my $cmd = "rpm -Uhv " . join(' ', @fullfiles);
my $rc = system($cmd);
if($rc) {
carp("Couldn't run $cmd");
return 0;
} else {
return 1;
}
with
foreach my $mark_string (@fullfiles){
my $cmd = "rpm -Uhv " .$mark_string;
my $rc = system( $cmd );
if($rc) {
carp("Couldn't run $cmd");
return 0;
}# else {
# return 1;
#}
}
return 1;
I don't know if any of the deveopment guys read this list but that works
for me.
