Hello Everyone,
I encountered an issue (rpm-4.1.1 RH9/YD3) when installing then upgrading a package using non-default RPM locations (relocating with --prefix). This is to test install, upgrade procedure without messing up with existing installation/database.
When I'm trying to upgrade (rpm -Uvh --nodeps --prefix ... --dbpath ... ...) previously installed (rpm -ivh --nodeps --prefix ... --dbpath ... ...) package, the RPM database reflects the change, however the actual files/directories get deleted from the file system.
This does not happen if the above is done using default RPM locations, no '--prefix ...'.
Is this something that anybody encountered before or has solution for?
Note, the package itself is not really much but one simple shell script file in /bin directory. Two different versions of same packages are not really different, it is only the spec release number that has changed.
Thanks in advance.
