rpm relocation error

[ramu74]

hi,

i am trying to install an rpm using relocation option to change the path. however the rpm gets installed, it is not using the new path. instead the rpm gets installed in the old path. also tried with badreloc, still the same pbm.

any one having idea about this or faced such problem?

Which rpm package and could you use the source tarball to build it?

I am building the rpm. so no issue of rebuilding. i give a default path to install in the rpm.

there is a script which will prompt the user for a path. if none given, it installs rpm on the default path. if new path is given, the relocate option is used to install in the new path.

When this relocation happens in RHL9.0, it doesnt happen in RHL8.0.
the package gets installed, but in the default path, which it is not intended for.

any suggestions?
