Title: sometimes gives missleading information
Ticket ID: #497
Ticket URL: http://bugs.pld.org.pl/?bug=497
Package: rpm-4.0.2-87
Distribution: PLD-Ra.main
Category: doesn't work as it should
Current state: opened
Text:
Spliting of rpm in several subpackages is a very good idea.
But the lack of information can be very missleading for a potential user:
for instance: rpm --rebuild kernel-2.4.20-1.src.rpm
kernel-2.4.20-1.src.rpm: No such file or directory
sugessts that there is no kernel-2.4.20-1.src.rpm which is obviosly not true, it can cause user to perform a lot of file system checks and similar :)) While the problem is a consequence of missing rpmbuild in the system.
There should be some
sprintf(stderr,"The command %s failed sorry\n", cmd);
or something in the proper place.
