Guess 1: Pretty much sums what I need guess 2 was a bouncer couldn't understand what it meant :-S but dependency just implies that XYZ needs to be installed before ABC right ? It doesn't package it in single binary?

Sorry, not gonna make that assumption. :) _Why_ do you need to do an rpm -i inside another rpm? Step away from the spec file. ;) You'd be better off assuming it can't be done, explaining to the list what it is you are actually trying to accomplish, and see what ideas come up. Really. Guess 1: You want to include more than one RPM package, but only want to give the user a single file? Answer 1: Use a dependency. Guess 2: You are doing this in the %install portion of the spec file, then packaging up the installed files? Answer 2: What are you, nuts? Clues: Never build an rpm as root. Rebuild from source. Consider rpm2cpio. Consider installing to the buildroot, and explicitly using an rpmdb in the buildroot. *shudder* HTH, Eli ps.
