The bug in RedHat's rootfiles rpm is easy to fix. I'll make a fixed
version of that rpm.
But there's an other bug here which is not so easy to fix.
Technically, the rootfiles rpm should not be installed at all. In the
comps-athena-basics file, the "rootfiles" line begins with a zero.
But for some reason, the default behavior seems to be to install it
anyway. The same happens for shadow-utils. And there are other bugs
in the package selection stuff. The "db" line begins with a 1, but it
always pops up a dialog saying "You didn't select db, and it's
needed." (I think I've seen that happen for athena-transcript too.)
I've spent some time trying to figure out what's going on, but haven't
figured anything out yet.
Anyway, I'll fix the rootfiles rpm on small-gods.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
-Sal.
