[tbox-l] the libpng rpm's

[Jørn A. <Jor...@nt...>]

The libpng rpm's are ugly at the best. The %files section of the spec
file reads:

%files
...
/usr/lib/
/usr/bin/

%files devel
...
/usr/include/

So, the rpm attempts to take control over the bos.rte /usr/lib,
/usr/bin and /usr/include directories. (!)

Fortunately, it attempts an rm on the plain directory path if removing
or updating the rpm, and does not appear to remove any contents:

[snip from rpm -vv -Uhv]
...
D:    file: /usr/include action: remove
cannot remove /usr/include - directory not empty
...
D:    file: /usr/lib action: remove
cannot remove /usr/lib - directory not empty
D:    file: /usr/bin/libpng12-config action: remove
D:    file: /usr/bin/libpng-config action: remove
D:    file: /usr/bin action: remove
cannot remove /usr/bin - directory not empty

Furthermore, when trying to update the beast, /usr/bin/rpm figures out
the release 1.2.8 > 1.2.32 and bails out on update:

...
D: installing binary packages
package libpng-1.2.8-6 (which is newer than libpng-1.2.32-1) is already installed
package libpng-devel-1.2.8-6 (which is newer than libpng-devel-1.2.32-1) is already installed

This applies to rpm-3.0.5-43 as well as rpm-3.0.5-44.
