Just an FYI (and a "just in case I overlooked something"), it *seems* to
be "No Joy in Mudville". Ran it twice on redhat logos that is missing a
directory and a file. Silence ensued and results didn't! :-O
So I did it again with a "--verbose" figuring that you folks who have
lived with it awhile might spot something I borked. Then, did an
rpm2cpio to confirm the two components were indeed carried in the rpm
file. They are.
Here's the verbosdity in case there is some value in it. I expect not
and thanks again.
