-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 List members, I am newer at using rpm as a package manager, and need some direction as to where to go to fix the problem. I've spent the last week downloading source files and packaging them up into RPMs so that I can create a basic Linux system. Now that I have all the packages I want, I add a second hard drive to my development machine, format it, and mount it in /mnt/new. The next thing I want to do is install the rpms to /mnt/new -- so I create /mnt/new/var/lib/rpm, and run: rpm --initdb --root=/mnt/new/var/lib/rpm and see that there are new files in my /mnt/new/var/lib/rpm. The way I'm installing rpms to my /mnt/new/ directory is this: rpm -ivh --nodeps --root=/mnt/new dummy-0.0.1-1ns.i686.rpm When I install any RPM that has a %pre tag in it, I get this message: Preparing... ####################################### [100%] error: %pre(dummy-0.0.1-1ns.i686) scriptlet failed, exit status 225 error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping dummy-0.0.1-1ns However, if I install the same RPM on my base machine, it works just fine, as follows: root@myhost # rpm -ivh --nodeps dummy-0.0.1-1ns.i686.rpm Preparing... ######################################## [100%] 1:dummy ######################################## [100%] Does it have to do with my /mnt/new? Just to see if it is failing because my /mnt/new doesn't have bash installed, I copied by /bin/bash to /mnt/new/bin/bash and also made the symlink /mnt/new/bin/sh to point to /mnt/new/bin/bash -- that didn't seem to solve the problem.
