I have copied several rpms to the RedHat 8.0 installation tree. Next i started genhdlist to update the hdlist and hdlist2 files. They were updated successfully. To update the comps.xml, i started getfullcomps.py and the script gave me the following errors:

[root@lnx024071144 comps]# /usr/share/comps-extras/getfullcomps.py
comps.xml \ /linux/redhat80 i386 >> comps-tmp.xml
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/comps-extras/getfullcomps.py", line 187, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/share/comps-extras/getfullcomps.py", line 39, in main
    hdlist = readAndMergeHeaderList(path, arch)
  File "/usr/share/comps-extras/getfullcomps.py", line 22, in
readAndMergeHeaderList
    hdlist = rpm.readHeaderListFromFile("%s/%s/RedHat/base/hdlist" %
rpm404.error: (2, 'No such file or directory')

I don't understand why i get the rpm404.error: (2, 'No such file or directory'), because the hdlist-file exists in the directory "/linux/redhat80/RedHat/base".

Is there anybody who has the same error or can me explain where the problem is?
