buildinstall woes..

["Rajkumar S." <voidmain@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am following the excellent document by Tony Nugent (Thanks Tony, the
doucment really rox) to build a custom RH box. At the buildinstall step I
was foxed by an error,

/usr/sbin/chroot: cannot execute usr/sbin/ldconfig: No such file or
directory

On investigation it turned out that the glibc and openssl package was not
expanded by the expandPackageSet() routine in the upd-instroot. On further
investigation I found that these are the only 2 packages that have an i386
and i686 version with same version no.

swathi:/mnt/d/root/i386# ls | grep openssl-0.9.6b-18.
openssl-0.9.6b-18.i386.rpm
openssl-0.9.6b-18.i686.rpm

swathi:/mnt/d/root/i386# ls | grep glibc-2.2.5-34.i
glibc-2.2.5-34.i386.rpm
glibc-2.2.5-34.i686.rpm


I made a workaround by adding

rpm2cpio /root/redhat/i386/RedHat/RPMS/glibc-2.2.5-34.i686.rpm | (cd
$PKGDEST; cpio -E $KEEPFILES --quiet -iumd)

after the loop (the full context at the end of the mail).

Is this a bug or am I missing some thing?
