rpm -U and relocation

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

 



I was a bit surprised to find out that rpm -U doesn't know if the
previous version of the RPM had been relocated, i.e., w/o using
a --prefix on the -U it will be installed according to its
internal Prefix: instead of relocated to where the previous RPM
was installed to.

Is this just a gross oversight?  Or was it intentional for some
reason?

Is there a workaround besides driving the install from a script that can
detect the previous relocations and calling rpm with the correct
arguments?

TIA
