I already have comps-extras-8.0-3.noarch.rpm installed.

Add, "rpm -ql comps-extras" has these files/directories, but NO
/usr/share/comps directory.

/usr/share/comps-extras
/usr/share/comps-extras/getfullcomps.py
/usr/share/comps-extras/getnotincomps.py
/usr/share/pixmaps/comps
/usr/share/pixmaps/comps/admin-tools.png

I did try and put the .discinfo file in the /usr/share/pixmaps/comps
directory, but still same error.
