With a not too bad connection to the Internet and enough disk space, this works quite well (no headaches!).
and maybe also with a very recent rpm. Sadly, my rpm (v4.4.1 on Ubuntu) segfaults with that command. The bug is entered in the Redhat bugzilla:
Hello Sanjoy, no problem with rpm-4.4.2 from http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/ You could also try cd /tmp wget http://pmrb.free.fr/texlive/texlive.nosrc.rpm rpmbuild --rebuild --force /tmp/texlive.nosrc.rpm or: 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 Does one of these alternatives work?
