Re: rpm dependency failed because the directory path doesn't exist

Thanks Guys.

The old rpm version is 4.4.2. The new rpm version is 5.1.6. So there is not way to avoid mandatory parent-dir/linkto dependency??

Thanks,
Jully

Hi Guys,

I am using a new version of RPM. It looks like it acts in differently way
than before.

If the directory of a file doesn't exist, it will fail the dependency
instead of automatically creating the directory.

For example, abc.rpm contains a file fileDIR/fileNAME. If fileDIR is not
installed, abc.rpm will fail the dependency check.

Is there any option for rpm or rpmlib to force it automaticaly create the
directory?

Specifying the exact version of rpm you use will make it much easier to find out where/what the problems ist.
Try rpm --version if you do not know. The distribution you are using can also help.

As you know exists only a branch of rpm the reinforce parent-dir/linkto deps in mandatory mode.
