When I do an rpm --eval on the macro it shows it but it does not seem to use it. yum update still shows the depsolving problem. This is with F11 rpm 4.7.0.Thanks. In looking at whiteout.py it seems that even if it does not find any whiteouts in any of the repos it still creates an empty macro which overrides the one I put in /etc/rpm/macros so I cannot do any manual testing.Gerry Reno <greno@xxxxxxxxxxx> writes:I looked at the preupgrade plugin 'whiteout'. And in the code I see where it gens a macro '_dependency_whiteout' and then appends a list of 'package>requires' strings to it. My question is, for testing, can I put this macro into /etc/rpm/macros and then will yum/rpm use it?AFAICS, rpm will use it.
