------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Apr 28 17:48:45 -0700 2005 ------- Using RPMs on no RPM based linux systems is problematic. After a few days of trying, I got "rpm" installed. Do you know you can not find rpm source in a tar.gz? rpm source only comes as an srpm? Chicken, Egg? Soi I got 1.9.79 installed. Love it. So then I update to 1.9.95. Once again I have to fake out the broken dependencies, but it alos will not install alongside the old Beta. Only way I can get it to install is an as Update. Not happy about that, especially in a beta. So then I get all these ugly message in the install. I would like to tell you what is going wrong, but of course the rpm installer deletes the tmp files. # rpm -U --nodeps *rpm which: no update-mime-database in (/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin) /tmp/install.12696: rpm: command not found /tmp/install.12696: [: ==: unary operator expected which: no update-desktop-database in (/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin) /tmp/install.12756: rpm: command not found /tmp/install.12756: [: ==: unary operator expected /tmp/install.12768: rpm: command not found /tmp/install.12768: [: ==: unary operator expected /tmp/install.12793: rpm: command not found /tmp/install.12793: [: ==: unary operator expected /tmp/install.12812: rpm: command not found /tmp/install.12812: [: ==: unary operator expected /var/local/tmp/rpm-tmp.41005: update-menus: command not found error: execution of %post scriptlet from openofficeorg-mandrakelinux-menus-1.9.95-1 failed, exit status 127 /tmp/install.12852: rpm: command not found /tmp/install.12852: [: ==: unary operator expected hobbes:/usr/local/archive/OO/RPMS# /tmp/install.12907: rpm: command not found /tmp/install.12907: [: ==: unary operator expected Not sure what bad assumptions your install script made. 2 minutes of testing and the install looks fine. This is OK for a hacker like me, but the old installer was way more user friendly and robust. Never had problems like this with OO 1. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
