Re: [Xen-users] xen 3.0.3

["Fong Vang" <sudoyang@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm experience something strange in the new domU running Xen 3.0.3.  I
cannot install some packages, even when trying to force an rpm install
using --force and --nodeps.

# rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps
'http://10.1.34.99/L1/IBM_db2cliv81-8.1.0-89.i386.rpm'
Retrieving http://10.1.34.99/L1/IBM_db2cliv81-8.1.0-89.i386.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
error: %pre(IBM_db2cliv81-8.1.0-89.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 255
error:   install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping IBM_db2cliv81-8.1.0-89

This same command works fine on a system outside of Xen.  As you can
see, it fails during the %pre section which only sets a variable:

preinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):

DB2DIR="/opt/IBM/db2/V8.1"


exit 0
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):

DB2DIR="/opt/IBM/db2/V8.1"
SPBDIR="${DB2DIR?}/spb"
DOCDIR="${DB2DIR?}/doc"
DQPDIR="${DB2DIR?}/qp"


Could this be that vtpm is disabled?  This works fine on a xen 3.0.2
system with vtpm enabled.
