i just tried to install tomcat-adapter-5.5.11-20050822.src.rpm from
current. rebuilding the binary packages as the openpkg instance's
"manager-user" worked just fine, but when i tried to install the binary
package i got the following error:
error: unpacking of archive failed: cpio: lstat failed - Permission denied
and i was left with an uncomplete installation of the package.
it seems, that the package tries to install some files for the
restricted openpkg-user. and since owner-modification is only permitted
for root, but not for the openpkg-instance manager, installation fails.
after repeating the installation as root, everything was fine.
but this leads to my questions: shouldn't the instance-manager-account
be allowed to install new packages? otherwise i see no possiblity to
make individual users their private openpkg instance.
if this was an error of the tomcat-package, is there a way to check a
package-installation to avoid the risk of a corrupted openpkg instance?
or some "transactional"-mode?
thanks in advance,
andi
btw: after installing as root, i tried to remove the package (as
manager). this didn't remove the files owned by the restricted user, AND
didn't even tell, that removal was uncomplete!
