Re: [Ltib] Fedora 11 / Issues to build LTIB / rpm-fs build fails / %pfx macro

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Franz,

It looks like rpm-fs.spec may actually be an empty file.
Can you take a look at /tmp/rpm-franz/SPECS/rpm-fs.spec and see if it
exists and has any content.

Also can you make sure that
/home/franz/ltib/dist/lfs-5.1/rpm/rpm-fs.spec looks okay (can you post
to this list).

The point of rpm-fs is to install a known copy of rpm onto the build
machine.  rpm has changed over the year with breaks in compatibility.
For that reason LTIB cannot rely on the build platform's distro provided
rpm.

Also was this the first run, or a re-try after a failure?

Regards, Stuart
