Greetings. We've been trying to update our RH 7.1 kickstart configuration
to work with RH 7.2. All of the standard stuff now seems to work fine, but
we're having some problems with the post-install section. In particular,
in that section we attempt to install some third-party software via a
command similar to:
rpm -Uvh ftp://remote.ucdavis.edu/pub/3rdparty/*.rpm
This fails without any error message. If we ask for a more-verbose output,
i.e.,
rpm -Uvvh ftp://remote.ucdavis.edu/pub/3rdparty/*.rpm
we get the following messages:
D: logging into remote.ucdavis.edu as ftp, pw (username)
D: found 0 source and 0 binary packages
There are, in fact, two binary RPM files at that location. If we transfer
them first via FTP, we can install them "by hand" without any difficulty.
It also seems that if we spell out the individual names of the packages,
then the remote installation works, as:
rpm -Uvh ftp://remote.ucdavis.edu/pub/3rdparty/some-package.rpm
Hence, this is not a burning issue, but it seems a bit cleaner not to have
to specify the full package names, i.e., including version number, as we
may upgrade to a new version during the lifetime of RH 7.2.
We just reinstalled from our RH 7.1 kickstart diskette, and the packages
installed without problems, so far as we can tell.
Does anybody know what's going on here?
Thanks.
- Mike
