I think that Seth, explained this to me a while ago but I seem to have forgotten why it happens. Doesn't work: yum -y --installroot=/home/bob/mychroot install openssl error: %post(openssl-0.9.7f-7.686) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 Does work: rpm --root /home/bob/mychroot -Uvh --nodeps --force openssl Why can't yum execute the pre/post scriptlets when installing into a chroot but RPM can? The reason I ask is this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=165264 yum-2.3.4-1 rpm-4.4.1-22 Bob -- Bobby Kashani http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~bobk/garnome
