Hi, I would like to install an rpm from within another rpm. After some searching, I found information in the following thread: "install rpm within an rpm package pre or post install?" http://www.redhat.com/archives/rpm-list/2004-November/msg00020.html Jeff Johnson wrote: > Even then it's caveat emptor, I believe I'm the only one who has tried > to do what I call "package bundles", i.e. executing rpm -Uvh in %post > and rpm -evh in %preun for some manifest of *.rpm's within a package > bundle. When I add the rpm install in %post and attempt to install I get the following error: warning: waiting for transaction lock error: can't create transaction lock One way to avoid this is by executing "rm /var/lock/rpm/transaction" in %post prior to installing the rpm. However, removing the transaction lock was not discussed in the thread I mentioned, and seems like a bad practise. Is this an acceptable method? Is there a better way to solve this problem? thanks, Todd _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
