Hi folks,
There seems to be a bug in the rpm shipped with FC3
(RPM version 4.3.2). Namely, when I run it as a regular
user, with the --root option, I get the the:
error: can't create transaction lock
But it works just fine as root:
[dimi@dimi ~]$ rpm --root /home/dimi/dev/kogaion/virtualroot --initdb
error: can't create transaction lock
[dimi@dimi ~]$ su
Password:
[root@dimi ~]# rpm --root /home/dimi/dev/kogaion/virtualroot --initdb
I quick google for the problem reveals that a very similar bug
has been fixed not long ago (RPM version 4.3.1) for the
non-root rpm --test:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119783
It looks as if the --root case have been missed by that fixed.
I have also submitted a bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=141015
Is this a problem that other people are seeing as well?
