Problem with relocations in rpm 4.0.3

Subject: Problem with relocations in rpm 4.0.3
Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2001 09:17:13 +0100
Hello!
Here is a letter I tried to post e few weeks ago but I had
some problems with my e-mail address...

I am using RedHat 7.2 with rpm-4.0.3-1.03
I am trying to make a package that I could relocate.
As long as I try to relocate only one directory it works (both
options --prefix and --relocate work ok)
However, I have problem with relocating two or three directories at the
time.

Below are described my failures of relocating multiple directories.
Can anyone say what did I do wrong?
Why is it (see spec file below):
$RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX: <dir1>
$RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX0: <dir2>
$RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX1: <dir3>
...
and not:
$RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX: <dir1>
$RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX0: <dir1>
$RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX1: <dir2>
as described by Jeff Johnson in one of the postings...

I think something is wrong with implementation of list of relocations
(probably the begin/end indexes) ... but I don't have time to debug
rpm sources.

I will be grateful for any help
Greetings
Bartosz

Something is wrong!
How to do it?

  Almost :( succesfull ... only one is correctly set.
  I tried all the combinations and always only one, the last one of
directories of the --relocate list is substituted!!

  Once more grateful for any help... bartosz@tpg.pl
