Re: [Ltib] Installation problems with Mandriva 2009.1 (mtd-utils)

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Mark,

Are you sure you have the latest from Savannah CVS?  the byteswap patch 
was remote from the host mtd-utils spec file.  Can you check:

dist/lfs-5.1/mtd-utils/mtd-utils-20060302.spec


It should only have at (the start)
[snip]
Summary         : Memory Technology Device tools
Name            : mtd-utils
Version         : 20060302
Release         : 2
License         : GPL
Vendor          : Freescale
Packager        : Stuart Hughes
Group           : Applications/System
Source          : %{name}-%{version}.tar.bz2
Patch2          : mtd-utils-20060302-find_fs_entry.patch
Patch3          : mtd-utils-20060302-eraseall.patch
Patch4          : mtd-utils-20060302-eraseall_prog.patch
BuildRoot       : %{_tmppath}/%{name}
Prefix          : %{pfx}
[snip]

If that verifies.  Can you verify that when it tries to build mtd-utils 
for the host you see:

Processing: u-boot-tools
==========================

Processing: mtd-utils-20060302
