Under unix, RPM is able to parse ELF binaries and detect which shared libraries are needed to execute code. It will be nice to get the same feature under OS/2; this will require a virtual package for OS/2 system libraries.

Doing e.g.

yum install ncurses

gives this:

Running Transaction
  Installing     : ncurses-5.7-1.i386                                       1/1
Error unpacking rpm package ncurses-5.7-1.i386
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /@unixroot/usr/share/doc/ncurses-5.7/ANNOUNCE: cpio: rename

Failed:
  ncurses.i386 0:5.7-1

Unpacking the ncurses RPM manually (with unrpm) gives this:

dmik: the problem with %pre. A really weird one. If a package has a %pre block, install goes smoothly, but the package doesn't get into the RPM database. I.e. it installs all its files, runs all its scripts but after the installation is finished, RPM still thinks that the package is not installed.
