https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1304632 --- Comment #13 from Doug Ledford <dledford@xxxxxxxxxx> --- The Provides:, while appearing odd, is so that if a person does: yum install libibverbs-utils then yum (now dnf) will install the libraries for libibverbs (which don't provide any drivers themselves), and the Requires: libibverbs-driver.%{?_arch} in libibverbs will trigger the install of one or more drivers to have the ability to support actual operations. This is simplistic, and doesn't really make sure that if you have libcxgb4 hardware that you get the libcxgb4 driver instead of the libipathverbs driver to satisfy the provides, and so things still may not work, but it results in the most common drivers working more often than not. And it means that if you specify the driver manually it will be satisfies manually, and it means that you can't remove all drivers without also removing libibverbs itself. That's all it's for. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
