there is a new texlive rpm on http://pmrb.free.fr/texlive/ - easy installation: rpmbuild --rebuild --force http://pmrb.free.fr/texlive/texlive.spm
Here rpm segfaults using that rebuild command (using rpm 4.4.1 on Ubuntu/i386). I tried to compile the latest version of rpm from source, in order to check whether the bug had been fixed, but couldn't get the recompilation to work. So I never managed to try your rpm package.
Hello Sanjoy, I've never had such a problem, but my rpm versions are much older... What happens, if you do cd /tmp wget http://pmrb.free.fr/texlive/texlive.nosrc.rpm rpmbuild --rebuild --force /tmp/texlive.nosrc.rpm ? Or yet another possibility: cd /tmp wget http://pmrb.free.fr/texlive/texlive.nosrc.rpm rpm -i /tmp/texlive.nosrc.rpm rpmbuild -bb --force /usr/src/packages/SPECS/texlive.spec
It seems it's a real rpm bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227333
(As suggested on this page, I renamed the texlive.spm to texlive.nosrc.rpm) Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
