I am trying to build freeradius rpm by following the instructions at http://wiki.freeradius.org/Red_Hat_FAQ#How_to_build_an_SRPM
I however get the follwing errors at the fist step
# rpm -ivh freeradius-2.1.7-7.fc12.src.rpm 1:freeradius warning: user mockbuild does not exist - using root warning: group mockbuild does not exist - using root ########################################### [100%] error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/freeradius-logrotate;4be01a23: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch
I did a rpm -K which shows
# rpm -K freeradius-2.1.7-7.fc12.src.rpm freeradius-2.1.7-7.fc12.src.rpm: sha1 md5 OK
I installed all the rpm-build packages before hand so do not know why this is happening. I am using Centos 5.4
I think this is related to the changes for RPM since F11. You can not unpack F11/F12 RPMs on F < 11 and RHEL/CentOS < 6. If this is the case, unpack the src.rpm with "rpm2cpio" on a F11+ system and copy the files to the appropriates places (SOURCES and SPECS) on your CentOS system. -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xos.nl> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204
