In the %post section of my kickstart config file, I'm running a shell script which installs a set of RPMs. Rarely, the RPM command will behave oddly, and I can't figure out why. Here's an excerpt from the kickstart config file: ------------- ks.cfg BEGIN ------------- ... %post --nochroot ... /mnt/source/posttools/rpm_upgrade.sh ------------- ks.cfg END ------------- And here's the command I'm running in rpm_upgrade.sh: ------------- rpm_upgrade.sh BEGIN ------------- ... rpm --root /mnt/sysimage -Uv --nodeps --force $MYRPM ... ------------- rpm_upgrade.sh END ------------- Here's the error I see: ------------- CUT ------------- error: unpacking of archive failed on file /opt/jini/jre1.3.1/lib/rt.jar: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch ... error: unpacking of archive failed on file /opt/swiftmq/conf/localrouter.swiftmq.properties.template: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch /mnt/source/posttools/rpm_upgrade.sh: line 60: 928 Segmentation fault rpm --root $DSTROOT -Uv --nodeps --force $RPM_UPGRADE_DIR/$MYRPM ------------- CUT ------------- When I re-kicked the system, there were NO errors. The kickstart is happening via NFS, and the package $MYRPM also resides on the NFS filesystem (hence the --nochroot flag to %post). Has anyone seen similar inconsistent behavior? Vijay
