When trying to install a rpm-database in some dir using rpm --root, the
wrong dbpath is used for locking the transaction, which of course makes
the whole transaction fail.
This is shown when trying the following as a non-root user:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bla$ mkdir -p root-dir/var/lib/rpm
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bla$ rpm --root `pwd`/root-dir --initdb
error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/__db.000
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bla$ find root-dir
I think you want to pass --dbpath as well. Can you confirm this solves
your issue?
using --dbpath does solve my issue. However, the manual says that using
- --root uses 'the file system tree rooted at DIRECTORY for all operations',
which indicates that the directory inside the specified directory would be
used, which isn't what's happening.
Cheers,
Taco.
