Re: [Ltib] mconf not found

Hi Lucas,

Unfortunately this is misleading as Debian/rpm (stub) thinks you want to 
 install on the build machine.

Can you check that you do have a real rpm installed on your host.  On 
mine (lenny based) I have:

$ dpkg --list rpm
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| 
Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: 
uppercase=bad)
||/ Name                  Version               Description
+++-=====================-=====================-==========================================================
ii  rpm                   4.4.2.3-1             Red Hat package manager


I suspect you may just have a stub.

Regards, Stuart
