Keepassxc spec file [1] does not contain any Requires dependency, but when I install it, it triggers the installation of these libraries [2] that are needed at runtime. > > My question is: how can keepassxc trigger the installation of such libraries if the spec file does not contain any Requires dependency that should be the attribute to identify runtime dependencies that are needed by the package? RPM can query ELF objects (executables and shared libraries) to find DT_NEEDED fields. That gives it a list of libraries that are depended on directly. It generates Requires for those dependencies automatically; see /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires. So the keepassxc package does contain Requires, they just don't appear explicitly in the spec file (and shouldn't). -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/ _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
