I was putzing around on 1 of my RedHat based boxes, rebuilding some of the official RH-7.2 SRPMs, and somewhere along the way, i broke something with the way that rpm builds packages.
I think something in the fileutils package is what broke everything, as that's the last rebuilt package that i was able to successfully build. What occurs is, i do my "rpm --rebuild <whatever.src.rpm>" and it flies along building all the neccesary widgets, and then immediately after where it creates the packages (it does actually get that far), when itws deleting all the crud it dumped in /var/tmp for the build, it bombs: Wrote: /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i686/libxml2-devel-2.4.2-1.i686.rpm Executing(%clean): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.28640 + umask 022 + cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD + cd libxml2-2.4.2 + rm -rf /var/tmp/libxml2-2.4.2-root rm: ERROR: the directory `/var/tmp/libxml2-2.4.2-root' initially had device/inode numbers 2049/134523676, but now (after a chdir into it), the numbers for `.' are 2049/3221223324. That means that while rm was running, the directory was replaced with either another directory or a link to another directory. error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.28640 (%clean) I can install the RPMs it built without a problem, so something weird is occuring after that point. I've already seen this with 4 different package builds. Anyone with ideas? BTW, this is with rpm-4.0 -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Step-by-step & TyGeMo http://netllama.ipfox.com _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
