rpm -ql Test-01
it shows the file from /opt/Test02 that is correct

rpm -qi Test-01

Because it queries the package database, which hasn't changed. You have to rebuild the rpm for that to change.

What do you find when you look at the install place with ls or whereis - did it install to the right place?

Insatll go to the right place what i specify on --relocate option
rebuild the rpm for that to change how ? do u have some example or which option i need to use

There is a package called 'rpmbuild' that you have to install and the command has the same name. You got to read the man page. You of course also need the Source RPM, not the the binary. It is quite simple, but it has been a while since I did something like that.

This is my spec file

using rpmbuild -bb option to create the rpm binary distribution getting the same issue Any idea

[flyingfsck]

Did you change the 'prefix' path in the spec file?

[anishnath]

default Prefix: /opt/Test-01
this i'm overriding using --relocate option
rpm -ihv Test-01.rpm --relocate /opt/Test01=/opt/Test02

ls -l /opt/Test02
(3 files)

rpm -qi Test-01
[OUtput] Name : Test-01 Relocation: /opt/Test01


still it's pointing to /opt/Test01 and not changing to /opt/Test02
