I've created a number of RPMs packages (on CentOS 5.2). In particular
one for GCC works fine if I install it with the 'rpm -i' command.
Is it any different if using rpm -Uvh ?
When I build a repository (metadata created w/ createrepo) and access it
through yum (or pirut) the process stops complaining about unsatisfiable
dependency constraints.
$ package-cleanup --problems
The output of a yum installation is as follow
(pirut agrees on the result):
[mav@centos-dev rpm_creation]$ sudo yum install polymath-gcc-4.3.3-native-native

Fastest mirror plugin might be causing problems. try to disable it.
There seems to be both 32 and 64 bit packages that are mentioned.
Perhaps there is an older version of the 32 bit that is tripping yum up ?
Now those dependencies are in the rpm file, but not explicitely in my
spec file.
Would you like to post that .spec somewhere, or at least the
dependencies parts here ?
rpmbuild added them. Just to minimize possibilities of
errors, I created the RPMs on the same CentOS system on which yum is
later run, although in my understanding this shouldn;t be necessary.
rpm -qpR on the package might help to explain ?
Would somebody be so kind to point me in the right direction and help me
understand the difference between yum and rpm processing of
dependencies?
yum is an auto dependency solver, so it will attempt to solve the
dependencies using the most recent version available in repos (FWIK).
This might lead to issues where say there is a newer 64 bit package, but
older 32 bit ?
