RPM to Verify Installed Packages

RPM to Verify Installed Packages

[Diego Sueiro]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 727 bytes --]

Folks,

I'm using Yocto on dora branch.
We got a binary corrupted after a package update using rpm.
But "rpm -V" [1][2] command doesn't show any errors.
Is there any limitation for rpm (5.4.9) built from Yocto?
The rpm database is not corrupted.

I took a look on rpm recipe and didn't found anything related to a specific
PACKAGECONFIG.

Any help is welcome.

It's hard to say. But when I try to execute it I receive: "cannot execute
binary file".
And the output of "file" command is: "data".

My bet is that the system was powered down during the update process.

It works.
But the problem is that --verify option is not working.
Even if I remove a file from the installed package it did not point for a
missing file.

Folks,

After 1 day of debugging I found what was causing the issue.

Commenting out the to lines (590-591) below on lib/verify.c
(showVerifyPackage function) solved the issue:

    /* If not verifying %ghost, skip ghost files. */
    /* XXX the broken!!! logic disables %ghost queries always. */
    if (!(FF_ISSET(qva->qva_fflags, GHOST) && FF_ISSET(fflags, GHOST)))
        continue;


I've tested "rpm -V" on qemuarm and qemux86 and it's reporting errors for
missing files and MD5 error at least.

I really don't know what is the side effect of this change and any help on
trying to understand what's going on with this bug is very welcome.

I opened a bug, 6309.  I've sent a fix for master, and we can work it back into 
previous versions once approved by oe-core.
