Package: rpm
Version: 4.0.4-29
Severity: normal
Hi,
I have to work on a precompiled binary package and I would like to
install
it in a chroot (non debian) environment.
So I issue these commands:
# mkdir /tmp/xxxx
# rpm --root /tmp/xxxx --initdb
rpm: To install rpm packages on Debian systems, use alien. See
README.Debian.
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or directory
(2)
#
Of course I read the relevant README files, but I think that, when
using a --root argument, all rpm operations should be allowed.
Thanks,
Giuseppe

Hi,
The solution for the problem is creating the sub-directory /var/lib/rpm
and if it can execute rpm -r /tmp/xxxx/ --initdb
for example:
# mkdir /tmp/xxxx
# mdkir /tmp/xxxx/var
# mdkir /tmp/xxxx/var/lib
# mdkir /tmp/xxxx/var/rpm
# rpm --root /tmp/xxxx --initdb
if we verified the sub-directory:
# ls -l /tmp/xxxx/var/lib/rpm/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12288 2005-02-14 02:26 Packages
