Thanks very much - very helpful.
It also needed "comps.xml" as the first parameter.
It came up with the same error, but there is a debug print further up that
I could uncomment to track down the problem.
I have a sunclock_huge_earthmap-1.0-1.i386.rpm that has no requirements,
which causes these scripts to raise exceptions.
% rpm -q --queryformat '%{NAME}\t%{REQUIRENAME}\n' -qp /export/i386/Fedora/RPMS/sunclock*
sunclock libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
sunclock_huge_earthmap (none)
sunclock_jpeg_big_maps rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix)
stderr from getfullcomps.py also pointed out some other unrelated
shortcomings in my comps file - thanks.
I had skipped using getfullcomps.py as fedora / rh9 build dependencies
on the fly - but the diagnostics are very informative.
Cheers, Andy!
