hi,<br> <br> sorry, I don't find any other mailing list to submit my questions.<br> <br> I am trying to setup a build root so I need to install rpm package to<br> a different root directory.<br> <br> > rpm --root=/home/cjia/workareas/rpm_root/fc8_root/ -ivh setup-2.6.10-1.fc8.noarch.rpm<br>
warning: setup-2.6.10-1.fc8.noarch.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature:<br> NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2<br> Preparing... ########################################### [100%]<br> 1:setup ########################################### [100%]<br>
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /etc/aliases;47d1b91c:<br> cpio: open failed - Permission denied<br> <br> Why it is still trying to write to /etc/... ?<br> <br> Thanks,<br> Neo<br> <br>--<br> I would remember that if researchers were not ambitious<br>
probably today we haven't the technology we are using!<br> _______________________________________________<br> Rpm-maint mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:Rpm-maint@lists.rpm.org">Rpm-maint@lists.rpm.org</a><br> <a href="https://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-maint">https://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-maint</a><br>
