Once upon a time, Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> said: > why did the chroot() call fail just because i was a regular user? i gave, > as an argument to --root=, a directory for which i as a regular user have > full permission. is there something about running a chroot()-based command > as non-root that causes it to fail? Yes, you cannot chroot() unless you are root (for security reasons). Trying to install for a different arch is not likely to really succeed anyway, as all the %pre and %post scripts will fail (if they run in the chroot, they'll try to run binaries for a different architecture). -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
