I am getting errors from RPM verify that I don't recall seeing before.
For example (on a server):
$ rpm -V gcc
........? /usr/bin/gcc
........? /usr/bin/gcov
........? /usr/bin/i386-redhat-linux-gcc
........? /usr/bin/protoize
........? /usr/bin/unprotoize
........? /usr/libexec/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/3.4.2/collect2
or (on a laptop)
........C /usr/bin/c89
........C /usr/bin/c99
........C /usr/bin/cc
........? /usr/bin/gcc
........? /usr/bin/gcov
........? /usr/bin/i386-redhat-linux-gcc
........? /usr/bin/protoize
........? /usr/bin/unprotoize
........C /usr/lib/gcc
........C /usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux
........C /usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/3.4.2
[etc]
The `?' means, according to the rpm(1) man page, that
while a single "?" (question mark) indicates the test could not be
performed (e.g. file permissions prevent reading)
and the 9th position refers to
T mTime differs
Several things puzzle me:
1. I get this error even if I run `rpm -V' as root.
2. The mtimes do not differ:
$ rpm -qlv gcc | fgrep "/usr/bin/gcc"
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 93136 Oct 26 01:48 /usr/bin/gcc
You have mail in /var/spool/mail/vladimir
$ dir /usr/bin/gcc
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 94800 Oct 26 01:48 /usr/bin/gcc*
but the sizes do, probably because of prelinking. (I couldn't undo
the prelinking because I, as root, get a "Could not get security
context..." error message. More fun.)
Of course, gcc works just fine, even when run as non-root:
$ /usr/bin/gcc -v -o hello hello.c

$ ./hello
Hello World
3. I don't know what the `C' in the laptop's output means. The manpage
is silent.
Both machines are running an updated Fedora Core 3 with the Red Hat
2.6.9-1.678_FC3 kernel compiled with OProfile support and some extra
debugging support.
Can anyone tell me what's going on?
Thanks.
