  • 1.  Base OS fileset vs RPM conflicts

    Posted Fri November 06, 2020 03:12 PM
    Thanks for fixing the conflict over /usr/bin/cpp between the Base OS fileset xlC.cpp and RPM gcc-cpp by removing /usr/bin/cpp from RPM gcc-cpp-8.3.0-3.  I reinstalled xlC.cpp to prevent anomalies between current systems and any new systems that may be installed in the future.  It is surprising what looks for /usr/bin/cpp.

    There is a conflict over /etc/cdrecord.conf between fileset cdrtools.base 1.9.0.9 and RPM cdrtools-3.01-3
    These packages also share the optional file /etc/default/cdrecord; although, this does not seem to cause any incompatibilities between the current versions of these packages.

    Details below:

    # lppchk -cm3
    lppchk: 0504-206 File /usr/bin/cpp could not be located.
    lppchk: 0504-206 File /usr/bin/isodump could not be located.
    lppchk: 0504-206 File /usr/bin/isoinfo could not be located.
    lppchk: 0504-206 File /usr/bin/devdump could not be located.
    lppchk: 0504-206 File /usr/bin/cdrecord could not be located.
    lppchk: 0504-206 File /usr/bin/mkisofs could not be located.
    lppchk: 0504-206 File /usr/bin/readcd could not be located.
    lppchk: 0504-206 File /usr/bin/isovfy could not be located.

    Reinstalling (with force "-F") the fileset cdrtools.base fixed the lppchk -cm3 output, but breaks rpm -Va output.

    Note: reinstalling cdrtools.base reports:
    mkisofs-3.01-3.ppc
    A geninstall process is currently running. Please wait for this
    process to complete before continuing.
    Finished processing all filesets. (Total time: 8 secs).
