Hi, I have a partition up and running with a set of RPMs. Now I want to prepare a backup partition with the same set of rpms. The installation goes through properly and the corresponding files are available on the alternate partition. The problem comes when querying the rpmdb of the created partition. The rpmdb do not seem to be updated with all the packages which were installed. A sample snapshot is below: [sysadmin-vm:0_RP0:/mnt/rpm/calvados]$ rpm -ivh --nodeps --root /partprep ncs6k-sysadmin-boot.* Preparing... ################################################## ncs6k-sysadmin-boot.sc ################################################## ncs6k-sysadmin-boot.all ################################################## ncs6k-sysadmin-boot.lc ################################################## ncs6k-sysadmin-boot.rp ################################################## [sysadmin-vm:0_RP0:/mnt/rpm/calvados]$ rpm -qa --root /partprep ncs6k-sysadmin-boot.rp-5.2.0.01I-Default.x86_64 ncs6k-sysadmin-boot.lc-5.2.0.01I-Default.x86_64 [sysadmin-vm:0_RP0:/mnt/rpm/calvados]$
When I check the double verbose output, I simply see that a few packages got remove from addition to corresponding rpmdb files. D: removing "ncs6k-sysadmin-boot.sc" from Name index. D: removing 19 entries from Basenames index. D: removing "Calvados/ncs6k-sysadmin-boot/ncs6k-sysadmin/sc/Default/mandatory/PII Any suggestion would be helpful in this regard. If needed, I could attach the verbose output. Also, the rpmdb do not seem to be corrupt since rpm verification runs smoothly. -- Bishwajit Goswami
