I have had that same problem, and it was the version of the rpm binary.
peewee uses it's own rpm binary (from rh 6.2).

test your rpm file with that rpm binary and find out if it can open it. if
not, get your own rpm binary. I also once replaced peewees rpm binary with a
simlink to my normal rpm binary, and everything worked, but that's probably
not such a good idea... adi ?

  Subject: [Peeweelinux] How to properly add packages?


  Hello,
  I am new to pwl and am trying to shrink down an existing RH 7.2 project to
run on a CF.  I am able to create basic distros on the CF and boot from them
fine. Problem is I am trying to add apache (apache-1.3.20-16.i386.rpm) and
others to my project. This is what I have done:

  - log in as root
  - copied the apache rpm file into RPMS directory.
  - run pwlconfig->Manage Package Files

  When I try to extract a binary, I see the rpm in the list and I select it.
It comes back saying package was extracted. However there are no *.tar or
*.list files created anywhere for apache.

  When I try to extract ALL binaries, it runs thru them all (including
apache) and does create a *.tar and *.list file in the Deamons directory,
but "tar tvf" is empty and the list file is zero size.

  What am I doing wrong?
  Thanks,
  Bob
