Hi,
I have built a package located by default under /usr/local.
When I try to install it, I'm returned the following error :
$
rpm -U sof-u-2.1.2-1.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
/usr is needed by sof-u-2.1.2-1.noarch
If I relocate the package, I'm returned the following error,
with dependencies on original paths :
$
rpm -U --define "_autorelocate_path %{nil}"
--prefix /usr/local/sofrecom sof-u-2.1.2-1.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
/usr is needed by sof-u-2.1.2-1.noarch
/usr/local is needed by sof-u-2.1.2-1.noarch
/usr/local/etc is needed by sof-u-2.1.2-1.noarch

In
rpm-4.4.7 and later, every file depends on its parent directory.
All of the dependency failures you are seeing are parent directories
that aren't packaged.
There is a --noparentdirs that disables the dependencies on parent
directories.
Another easy persistent fix for your specific problem(s) is
mkdir -p /etc/rpm/sysinfo
echo "/usr" >> /etc/rpm/sysinfoDirnames
echo "/usr/local" >> /etc/rpm/sysinfo/Dirnames
echo "/usr/local/etc" >> /etc/rpm/sysinfo/Dirnames
...
There is also ( in 4.4.7+?, I fergit) a --orphandirs popt alias that will
display all directories that are not packaged:
rpm -Va --nofiles --orphandirs
that should generate a sort'd uniq'd list of directories that are not packaged.
The _autorelocate_path
macro setting is necessary. Otherwise, the package
is installed under /emul/noarch-hpux11.23
!!!
I'm using rpm 4.4.7 which I have built on HPUX 11.23 / ia64.
The RPM database was initialised with a pseudo package providing usual
interpreters ( /bin/sh, /bin/ksh, /bin/perl, … ).
Ah ia64 multilib.
Expect some problems is all that I can say. The implementation of multilib on ia64
in rpm was done in like 8 hours on a borrowed ia64 developer's box and has never been
properly QA'd to my knowledge.
SELinux, in particular, is likely to be extremely weird on a multilib/ia64 box
because of the /emul/noarch-hpux11.23 prefix breaking the lookup of
file contexts from SELinux configuration.
I'll be happy to help you sort out any/all multilib/ia64.
Likely <
rpm-devel@xxxxxxxx> is a better place to report issues, as only the few & the brave are attempting HP-UX multilib/ia64 relocated installs with rpm-4.4.7+.
