package installation ordering problem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,

 

I’m using Red Hat EL3.

 

I face a problem via kickstart installation that for now I don’t find its solution.

·         The ln utility is part of coreutils-4.5.3-28.1.i386.rpm

·         The ln utility is used in a post script in other rpm of my ISO installation.

·         In pkgorder  coreutils rpm appears before the second rpm so that ln should exist when the second rpm is installed.

·         I have used the /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist --withnumbers –fileorder option to create hdlist & hdlist2 based on mentioned pkgorder

·         The coreutils rpm is part of @Core group mentioned in my comps.xml

·         The second rpm is part of other group from comps.xml.

 

·         In ks.cfg I put explicitly @Core at the %packages section and also the package coreutils itself as follows:

o   %packages

o   @Core

o   coreutils

o   ..

 

 

The problem:

Looking at the end of installation at the install.log under the root directory:

coreutils is installed after the second rpm and ln command is failed as it doesn’t exist yet.

 

I have changed in the pkgorder file coreutils to be the first rpm and changed also other rpms order and it seems that the change affects other rpms but not coreutils.

 

 

My questions:

·         What is the package installation logic/order that is used by anaconda ?

·         How can I get/save an extra logging via installation ?

o   Can someone supply any bash script that will be part of ks.cfg that will help here.

·         Any other idea ?

 

Any help will be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Yishai.
