Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

@ Nicolas

If you agree with this request and are one day going to work on it: please put "OK" on the whiteboard or set status to ASSIGNED.

If you don't agree with the assignment (AFAICS it is nobody's package), please assign back to bugsquad

If you think it should be closed (wontfix, fixed), please close

cpio cames with its own implementation of rmt.
Both Fedora & Mageia disables it and point to use the rmt one through the --with-rmt=... option.
So Fedora relies on rmt too but not explicitely.
rmt does got installed on FC.

On Both FC & mga:
$ strings  /bin/cpio |grep rmt
/etc/rmt
$ rpm -qf /etc/rmt 
rmt-0.4-0.12.b44.fc17.x86_64

(rmt-0.4b42-2.mga1 on MGA)
