[expert] No Gnorpm Filelist

2001-01-27 Thread Ralph Slooten

Hi there all,

I have just installed Mandrake 7.2 on a new computer having always used
Redhat on my old computer, however I seem to be having a problem as regards
to gnorpm. I have searched through the database of archived messages and
cannot see any similiar results.

My problem is this. When I look at an rpm's info, or browse through the rpm
database installed on my computer using Gnorpm, I can get to see all the
info about the package, versions, descriptions and so on, however the
bottom half (file list) is always blank! No matter what I have tried I
cannot get and output here :-/ The rpm's install and work fine, just no
file listings. Any ideas as to what I'm missing? Rpmdrake can on the other
hand, just as being a user who had for a long time used Gnorpm, I would
rather still remain using it.

Thanks in advance

Ralph

I believe to effectively do this you need first to install RPM v3.05 or
something, which DOES support the RPM ver 4 files, and then upgrade again
to the ver 4. Yeah, it's beating around the bush I know, just that I didn't
write the packages ;-)
