If the package is not applicable, can RPM >return appropriate exit code or message without giving a failure message? preinstall scripts give you a limited way to do this, but I think you have to fail the script which will make rpm think that package failed, and may not be what you're asking for. If it's just noise you worry about, you can just avoid the preinstall script generating any output (send errors to /dev/null for example). I sadly found this out in a negative way trying to install into a partly broken alternate root where some commands in the alternate root that were called by package preinstall scripts wouldn't run, so those packages wouldn't install. That very definitely looked like an error (but then, it /was/ an error). _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
