mime.types error doing a rpmbuild on courier

Post by wulfpack74 » 2008/04/11 12:05:42

I am trying to run:
sudo rpmbuild -ta courier-0.59.0.tar.bz2

but getting this error:

error: Failed build dependencies:
/etc/mime.types is needed by courier-0.59.0-1.i386

ls -l /etc/mime.types
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13099 Apr 10 16:44 /etc/mime.types



any suggestions? Ive search far and wide and can not find anyone else who has had this problem with courier.

2.6.18-53.1.14.el5

rpm -q --whatprovides /etc/mime.types
mailcap-2.1.23-1.fc6



installed this.

mailcap-2.1.23-1.fc6


But now I am getting another error


rpmbuild -ta courier-0.59.0.tar.bz2
error: Failed to rename /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/rpm-spec.2sk9ps to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/rpm-spec.2sk9ps: Permission denied: No such file or directory


ls -l /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
total 52
-rw------- 1 root root 9111 Apr 10 14:35 courier-authlib.spec
-rw------- 1 root root 9438 Apr 10 14:47 courier-imap.spec

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 11 16:21 rpm-spec.mSqdpY
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Apr 11 08:51 tar: *.spec: Not found in archive



How do I get past this error?

Hi,

I am working as a Linux Support in Web Server environment. I am looking for Courier Email Server configuration and testing.

*) I have installed the following RPM packages in RHEL6.4 x86x64 Linux box.

courier-imapd-0.63.0-1.fc11.i586
gdbm-1.8.0-37.8.x86_64.rpm
courier-authlib-0.63.0-1.fc11.i586.rpm
courier-authlib-devel-0.63.0-1.fc11.i586.rpm


But i am unable to start the courier-imapd service.

Error : Failed:- Authentication courier-imapd


I think i installed the wrong packages with dependencies. Can any one please tell me the working package with procedure for RHEL 6.4 (64bit).

Don't install random packages from the internet. Fedora 11 is not CentOS 6 and the packages for that will not work.

Do you need courier specifically? CentOS 6 supplies dovecot packages for imap.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Actually I just noticed that you hijacked a 6 year old thread about CentOS 5 with unrelated info about courier packages on CentOS 6 and have also started your own thread in the correct forum so I'm going to lock this thread to prevent further updates.
