Package: rpm Version: 4.8.1-6+squeeze1 Severity: normal
I have a system with a 13-year-old "/etc/rpmrc" file on it. I tried to install the rpm package and got a cryptic error: sh: /usr/lib/rpm/convertrpmrc.sh: No such file or directory and the install failed. It looks like rpm.postinst used to be able to convert /etc/rpmrc configuration files, but the converter script is no longer included in the rpm package. I deleted my /etc/rpmrc and the install proceeded normally. Its not clear to me if the /etc/rpmrc file should just be ignored/deleted by rpm.postinst or if the convertrpmrc.sh was removed by mistake. While I found this on 'stable' branch, I checked out the latest rpm package in git, and it still seems to have this problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.7 APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages rpm depends on: ii libc6 2.11.3-4 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libelf1 0.148-1 library to read and write ELF file ii libnss3-1d 3.12.8-1+squeeze6 Network Security Service libraries ii libpopt0 1.16-1 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii librpm1 4.8.1-6+squeeze1 RPM shared library ii librpmbuild1 4.8.1-6+squeeze1 RPM build shared library ii librpmio1 4.8.1-6+squeeze1 RPM IO shared library ii perl 5.10.1-17squeeze6 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii rpm-common 4.8.1-6+squeeze1 common files for RPM ii rpm2cpio 4.8.1-6+squeeze1 tool to convert RPM package to CPI ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime rpm recommends no packages.
