Hey all, I tried rebuilding rpmdb-fedora from the source rpm and noticed a problem (which could certainly be because i did something wrong :-). For all rpm's in my directory of rpms (the ones i want in the db) that have more than one arch (for example glibc , i386 and glibc i686) i get an error like: error: error reading from file glibc-2.3.4-10.i686.rpm Now i changed the spec file to only include i386 and noarch rpms and it works fine. I tried with the following quick test to reproduce the effect: [root@drake RPMS]# rpm -i --justdb --force glibc-2.3.4-10.i386.rpm glibc-2.3.4-10.i686.rpm error: error reading from file glibc-2.3.4-10.i686.rpm [root@drake RPMS]# rpm -i --justdb --force glibc-2.3.4-10.i686.rpm glibc-2.3.4-10.i386.rpm error: error reading from file glibc-2.3.4-10.i386.rpm As you can see it complains about the second rpm it finds that just differs in arch. The files are all 100% correct, since i can install them one by one, just not in one go. This is on a chrooted minimal install with the latests (rsync'ed a few hours ago) rpms from the development directory. Is this expected behavior ? - Erwin
