Re: Unable to open /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc for reading

James,

How to use this rpmpopt file for my purpose? I did see the text "rpm     alias --info --qf [...]" in my rpmpopt-4.4.1 file (in ~/fakeroot/usr/lib/rpm/ directory).

 This is popt, ie. on my system:

/usr/lib/rpm/rpmpopt-4.6.0

...which contains "rpm     alias --info --qf [...]" among others.

Hello,

I've installed the rpm package along with other required dependencies in a directory "fakeroot" in my home folder of a Debian System (Etch amd64). I did this by extracting the contents of related deb packages in the "fakeroot" folder. After that, I also setup the PATH & LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables for the proper functioning of "rpm" command.

Now, the rpm command works well in some cases, but in other cases, I get an obvious error:
"error: Unable to open /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc for reading: No such file or directory."

That's because there actually isn't a rpmrc file in /usr/lib/rpm. It's in the ~/fakeroot/usr/lib/rpm/ directory.

When I execute the rpm command along with the --rcfile modifier to point the command to the rpmrc file in the "fakeroot" directory, it works ok, expect for one thing. The following does not work:
rpm --rcfile=/home/anurag/
fakeroot/usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc -qip amarok-1.4.10-5granular2008.i586.rpm

The error I get is:
"-qip: Unknown option"

Other options like -qlp, -qdp, -ivh, -Uvh, etc. work just fine.

Any suggestions for troubleshooting this problem?

Thanks.
