APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When using geninstall to preview the installation of RPM
    packages, the program may return a non-zero return
    code without displaying any messages.  For example:
    # geninstall -p -I -pacgYX -d <media> -f RPM.bnd
    
    
    Validating RPM package selections ...
    
    # echo $?
    15
    

Local fix

  • Check the amount of required space for the RPM packages
    to be installed by running the rpm command outside of
    geninstall.  For example:
    /usr/bin/rpm -Uhv --test rpm1.rpm rpm2.rpm ... rpm15.rpm
    installing package perl-5.8.8-2 needs 62Mb on the
       /opt filesystem
    installing package readline-6.2-5 needs 64Mb on the
       /opt filesystem
    installing package wget-1.15-1 needs 66Mb on the
       /opt filesystem
    installing package zlib-1.2.3-4 needs 67Mb on the
       /opt filesystem
    # echo $?
    15
    

Problem summary

  • When using geninstall to preview the installation of RPM
    packages, the program may return a non-zero return
    code without displaying any messages.  For example:
    # geninstall -p -I -pacgYX -d <media> -f RPM.bnd
    
    
    Validating RPM package selections ...
    
    # echo $?
    15
    

Problem conclusion

  • Allowed space requirement messages to be included in geninstall
    preview operation and set return code to 0 if no other errors
    exist.
