This question is effectively the same one as I asked earlier this week, as the LSB Sample Implementation uses the LFS build method. On this system the base software is not managed through rpm, but we do initialize an empty rpmdb and install a single package to set up some things for sane operation so it's easy to fix this issue there. _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
