Odin, The guy is right. There is problem with rpminst when --skip-intro option is there. The rpminst core dump hard. I run rpminst with and without the --skip-intro and the rpminst coredump every time with it.

I checked each of the components of the package and found rpminst to be the problem. So I checked to see how rpmdrake was calling rpminst, rpminst --skip-intro --report /tmp/rpminst.log --packages pine Tried it on the command line and it didn't work rpminst --packages pine did though it didn't like --skipintro so I eliminated it by writing a quick shell hack which shifts --skipintro out of the list of args. - very dirty hack but it makes rpmdrake work again. mv /usr/sbin/rpminst /usr/sbin/rpminst.bak create the following as /usr/sbin/rpminst and chmod +x it #!/bin/sh shift /usr/sbin/rpminst.bak "$@" It'll remove the --skipintro arg as rpmdrake calls rpminst before passing the command line to rpminst.bak - problem fixed - although rather dirty. -- Jason Straight BlazeConnect President Phone: 231-597-0376 Fax: 231-597-0393
