    subversion                  ##################################################
    But when I then install subversion-tools I get errors:

    # rpm -ivh subversion-tools-1.9.7-2.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
    subversion-tools            ##################################################
    mkdir: 0653-358 Cannot create /opt/RPM_inst_root/var/opt/freeware/tmp/perl-root.

    Looks like there is a Problem with the install script ?

    The Directory /opt/RPM_inst_root/var/opt/freeware/tmp/perl-root didn't exist before the Installation of subversion-tools but exists after.

    I have the same problem with versions 1.9.4-1 - 1.9.7-2, only 1.9.3-1 I can install without errors.

    You can try removing the directory and install again.

    BTW, We have separate AIX Opensource forum mainly for Opensource related queries.

    Looks like the mkdir is done twice and second time fails.

     

    Sorry for posting in the wrong area, is it possible to move into the right area ?
