    <p>I have a problem where an rpm erase such as</p> <p><code>rpm -e &lt;package&gt;</code></p> <p>is causing a soft linked directory to be deleted. Whereas if the directory isn't a link but rather just a directory, it works fine.</p> <p>To investigate this I started playing around with the extra verbose output -vv and it displays a lot of information, some of which is about the directories and files that are manipulated. However, I don't know how to read the output and I haven't been able to google any resources that explain the details.</p> <p>An example of the output in question is as follows:</p> <pre><code>D: erase: waitpid(4409) rc 4409 status 0 secs 1.107 D: fini 100755 1 (65534,65533) 105 /usr/foobar/tomcat/logs/om_be/dummy.log D: fini 040755 2 (65534,65533) 4096 /usr/foobar/tomcat/logs/om_be D: fini 100755 1 (65534,65533) 105 /usr/foobar/tomcat/logs/mc_be/dummy.log D: fini 040755 2 (65534,65533) 4096 /usr/foobar/tomcat/logs/mc_be D: fini 100755 1 (65534,65533) 105 /usr/foobar/tomcat/logs/dummy.log D: fini 120755 1 (65534,65533) 24 /usr/foobar/tomcat/logs D: fini 040755 2 (65534,65533) 4096 /usr/foobar/tomcat D: fini 100755 1 ( 0, 1) 4293 /usr/foobar/share/mrtg2/icons/mrtg-ti.png [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] </code></pre> <p>[1] I suspect the <code>D:</code> is to indicate debug output. But what about <code>fini</code>? Does it have any significance?</p> <p>[2] What about this group of digits (6 of them). They seem like they might be permission mode settings but there are too many numbers. At least the last three digits look like the octal mode values, I don't know what the first three would be.</p> <p>[3] I have no idea what this column represents</p> <p>[4] I'm guessing that the <code>(##,##)</code> portion is the owner and group permissions since they match the expected values for this.</p> <p>[5] I have no idea what this number represents. Maybe size?</p> <p>[6] I recognize the directory and file names. :)</p>

    1. COSo you want explanation for debug output or to solve why rpm -e <package> behaves differently with symlink and with a directory? If it's the latter, having at least partial *.spec file used to build the RPM would be extremely helpful. Just don't post it completely whole...tomcat spec is bound to be huge :-)

    2. COHi Stan, more interested in the debug output. We've come to accept that it behaves this way because it's considered a file rather than directory, and long since worked around the problem. But I'm still interested in the debug output.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
