Hi,
I have done some more investigation on the vim package, and
there is something strange going on with it, or possibly with RPM.
Some expert intervention is needed I think...
# rpm -ivh --force vim-common-6.1-36mdk.i586.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:vim-common ########################################### [100%]
# ls -l //usr/share/vim/tutor/tutor.vim
ls: //usr/share/vim/tutor/tutor.vim: No such file or directory
So, I use "rpm -Vp" on the package file to see if something is wrong:
(Sorry, it is long...)
# rpm -Vp vim-common-6.1-36mdk.i586.rpm

SO the package seems to miss many files...
I check for several of them (just at random...)
and they are not present on the filesystem...
# ls /usr/share/vim/tutor/tutor.fr /usr/share/vim/tutor/tutor.vim
ls: /usr/share/vim/tutor/tutor.fr: No such file or directory
ls: /usr/share/vim/tutor/tutor.vim: No such file or directory
So... I make the rpm into a cpio:
# rpm2cpio vim-common-6.1-36mdk.i586.rpm > vim-common-6.1-36mdk.i586.cpio
# cpio -i --list *tutor.vim < vim-common-6.1-36mdk.i586.cpio
./usr/share/vim/tutor/tutor.vim
16851 blocks
So the file seems present in the cpio archive???
Next I cross the fingers and try re-install from the cpio
(not that I'm worried, I remember when rpm was broken, so
one had to back-grade rpm, and install it with rpm2cpio and
cpio)
# cpio -i < root/test/vim-common-6.1-36mdk.i586.cpio
And every file was "not created: newer or same age version exists"
Except: The files that rpm -Vp listed above (and some localization files)
So now, all of the files are present, and vimtutor works.
It seems very strange. Perhaps a RPM problem? I don't know.
Thanks for your help!
