Sorry, but as we were talking about virtual RPM, I asumed that you were referring to the %post in RPM, not the %post in Kickstart ;) Regards Pablo El lun, 10-03-2008 a las 11:38 +0100, Joel Andres Granados escribió: > Pablo Iranzo Gómez wrote: > > Wouldn't that keep the RPM database locked by the package being > > installed and running %post scripts? > > AFAK the only thing you need to make sure for this approach to work is for all the dependencies to be in the system before %post. Don't know much about the internals of rpm database, but I would assume, for consistency purposes, that at install time the data base locks. So when you do the `rpm -ihv ...` the database is locked. however, This does not disallow you to install with the rpm command in the %post section. > > > > > Regards > > Pablo > > > > El lun, 10-03-2008 a las 10:40 +0100, Joel Andres Granados escribió: > >> Seidel Peter wrote: > >>> Hello, > >>> > >>> I'm currently trying to set up a RHEL5 kickstart installation for our company. > >>> > >>> Everything work fine so far, but I have a Problem with the dependencies of 3rd Party Packages(.rpm/closed source) like VMware Player or Vnc-E. The dependencies aren't set probably by the Distributors.
