Hi,

When I try to install the latest yum modified mach on an x86_64 FC Development (as of last week, yum 2.3.2) it then tricks me into thinking that the roots I set up are fine (no errors in the output) when they're not ;-)

I recall having had the same problem on an RHEL4 host for all roots too, which I worked around by manually installing all missing packages, most with --noscripts... and at one point things started to work.

But now, although the "mach setup minimal" reported nothing unusual, here is what I get right after when trying "mach yum groupinstall build- minimal" :

(sorry if things get all wrapped around :-/)

Now the other weird thing is that if I "manually" use "mach rpm -ivh" for all those exact packages, it works fine. It seems that it fails only through yum :-( Given the trivial content of some of these scriplets, I'm really confused! The glibc-kernheaders which fails the same way is :

preinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): [ -L /usr/include/linux ] && rm -f /usr/include/linux || : [ -L /usr/include/asm ] && rm -f /usr/include/asm || : exit 0

I really don't see how that manages to fail :-( If I try to "mach chroot" after manually installing what is missing from the "minimal" group, it works, but "yum groupinstall build-base" then fails with other packages, same for the main build group.

Any ideas? Seth, you're building packages on an x86_64, aren't you?
