I have setup a local repository containing several .rpm files. I

following error:
*Failed to add groups file for repository: localRepo - comps file is
empty/damaged*
However, if I try to install one of the the packages in the repository,
it works just fine.
Here are the steps I took to create the repodata:
The comps.xml and repository are stored in the directory:
/var/www/html/myrepo/x86_64
cd /var/www/html/myrepo/x86_64
createrepo -g comps.xml .
This created a /var/www/html/myrepo/x86_64/repodata directory which
contains the comps.xml and comps.xml.gz file.
Tom,
The createrepo manpage says: Note that the groups file should be in the
same directory as the rpm packages (i.e. /path/to/rpms/comps.xml).
Is comps.xml(.gz) in the proper location? you seem to suggest that it is
located in repodata/ which does not seem to be the correct place.
