name%
i have tried different version of rpm but this problem always exist
for me
its very important and vital to me to use rpm on my lfs system
please help me .
These are dependencies on parent directories, new in rpm-4.4.6.
Try creating /etc/rpm/sysinfo with the missing directories, e.g.
/
/etc
so that the parent directories are provided.
The better fix is to install a package that contains the directories.
On other linux systems, the file system skeleton is often contained
in setup
and filesystem packages.
