Install RPM Package Issues
 

Hello Folks,

I am installing the RPM. I am executing the below mentioned command:

rpm -ivh --noscripts --nodeps --nomd5 test-4.0.1-0.9434.i386.rpm

It says :
installing package test-4.0.1-0.9434.i386.rpm needs 47MB on the / filesystem

I have enough space though. But if I execute with --ignoresize option then it install the package properly.

Please help to investigate the root cause of this issue.

Thanks,
Saurabh Chokshi

What is the output of:
--jeremy

I can't see the / filesystem through df command. However, I can see ram filesystem mounted on ramfs through mount command.

I got it worked in fedora Core 4. Now I am using CentOS and it is not working.
