Description Morgan Leijström 2019-10-07 00:19:41 CEST 
Description of problem: The description of the rpm

rpmtools:             
"Various tools needed by urpmi and drakxtools for handling rpm files."

But i have a fresh install of mga7 64 bit, it do not have rpmtools installed, and drakrpm, urpmi, updater app etc works.

File list:
        /usr/bin/dumpdistribconf
‎        /usr/bin/gendistrib
‎        /usr/share/man/man1/dumpdistribconf.1.xz
‎        /usr/share/man/man1/gendistrib.1.xz
Comment 1 Lewis Smith 2019-10-07 20:58:08 CEST 
True, the description is meaningless! I also do not have rpmtools on a biggish M7 installation.

 $ urpmq --whatrequires rpmtools
drakiso
 $ urpmq -l rpmtools | grep /bin/
/usr/bin/dumpdistribconf
/usr/bin/gendistrib
 $ urpmq --requires urpmi
does *not* show rpmtools.
 $ urpmq --requires drakxtools
does *not* show rpmtools.

rpmtools has no maintainer, but rather than assigning this globally, I think MageiaTools looks sensible.

Comment 2 Thomas Backlund 2019-10-08 23:14:56 CEST 
Well, it's sort of correct...

Its the toolchain to create distrib-wide rpm metadata/hdlists that urpmi uses...

CC: (none) => tmb

Comment 3 Morgan Leijström 2019-10-08 23:26:42 CEST 
Yes it is that end of it.

Maybe change description to:

"Toolchain to create distrib-wide rpm metadata/hdlists"
