I will verify as soon as I get lsbpkgchk fixed up this weekend. I still don't know what "variable length fields" are. 73 de Jeff __ RPM Package Managerhttp://rpm5.org LSB Communication Listrpm-lsb@rpm5.org

I just have had zero cycles to put this right. -ENOCONTEXT. What is a "variable length field"? part of the problem resides in data in the lsb spec database, which is used to generate some of the material in pkgchk. I'm looking to fix the confusion with tagno's as well as the header+payload md5 digest that I'm seeing. Make a list, I'll be happy to look at any other lsbpkgchk problem too. 73 de Jeff __ RPM Package Managerhttp://rpm5.org LSB Communication Listrpm-lsb@rpm5.org

I'm certainly getting current builds from Fedora 8/updates... a lot more current than what seems to be in EPEL. Sure that would work. But going back to F8 is, well, going backwards. I live on the F8+ bleeding edge and tar WORKSFORME. 73 de Jeff __ RPM Package Managerhttp://rpm5.org LSB Communication Listrpm-lsb@rpm5.org

Yah, I'm well aware of the yum! adverts everywhere. Its not like I'm not an expert in the field ;-) bzr has moved to EPEL. which uses python-2.4, not python-2.5.

After that: $ bzr branch http://bzr.linux-foundation.org/lsb/devel/misc-test misc-test contains pkgchk as well as the bits it depends on. Yup. Does anyone have a URL to a nice simple lsbpkgchk tarball? Sure. http://ftp.linux-foundation.org/pub/lsb/test_suites you'll find the most recent released one at .../released-3.1.1/source/application/lsb-pkgchk-3.1.1.tar.gz I don't think tarballs are uploaded for snapshots and/or beta releases, but if you want something more recent than the one noted above, I'll make one for you. Likely good enough. Thanks, expect patch(s) soonishly. 73 de Jeff __ RPM Package Managerhttp://rpm5.org LSB Communication Listrpm-lsb@rpm5.org
