This was kind of silly. I compared the info of 2 files -- a random one that worked (at), and a broken one that didn't (iser): [EMAIL PROTECTED] rpm]# file at-3.1.8-80_EL4.ia64.rpm at-3.1.8-80_EL4.ia64.rpm: RPM v3 bin IA64 at-3.1.8-80_EL4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] rpm]# file iser-1.0-899--2.6.9-42.0.2.EL-ia64.rpm iser-1.0-899--2.6.9-42.0.2.EL-ia64.rpm: RPM v3 bin IA64 iser-1.0-899
So "file" reported at's "name" (for lack of a better word) as "at-3.1.8-80_EL4" -- basically, everything it found up to the .ia64.rpm part. But iser was reporting only a fraction that file name. The package builder gives it a lot of extra info that gets dropped somehow. I renamed "iser-1.0-899--2.6.9-42.0.2.EL-ia64.rpm" to "iser-1.0-899.ia64.rpm," did the same for linux-iscsi (dropped a big section of its name which didn't get reported in `file`), and it worked. --Joe ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Greenseid, Joseph M.

My default package list image is currently building. Assuming success, I will return to my efforts to figure out why it claims to not find 2 of the packages I have added to the list.

Apparently an upgrade of RPM is necessary, based on the list archives, so I will try to do that and try again. --Joe ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Greenseid, Joseph M.

I had the same thought about trying to build an image without my extra packages, and am off to try that now.
