drivel in FC3. It's a known issue, and my understanding that FC3's rpm uses
the internal glob() function, instead of glibc's which breaks rpm.
I rebuilt rpm for FC2, using the internal glob() func, and this fixed the
problem.
I think this should really be an errata for rpm for FC2. Even if it's only
the same version of rpm as released with FC2, but with the configure option
to enable the internal glob().
However, bearing in mind the "Absolute symlinks hell!!" thread, this may
be storing up trouble for the future (system upgrade time) if anaconda
can't handle absolute symlinks.
