Actually, it really doesn't work for Solaris. The -R switch for Solaris is meant to be used an "alternate root", typically when you are installing to a "diskless" client mounted on the machine you are doing the pkgadd on. Trying to use -R to do multiple installations is not what -R is not designed for, and you will run into problems. E.g. as you point out, if you depend on other packages. It appears to me that both Solaris and rpms suffer from the fact that the "installation directory" (--prefix in RPM) is not part of the "database key" for the package database. This is quite unfortunate for application level packages that do have scenarios where you want to install them multiple times. _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
