I'm having a lot of trouble wrapping my head around what you're trying to do here. If you're packaging openssh, in the openssh.spec file, you'd want to have: BuildRequires: openssl >= 0.9.7f When the openssh SRPM is built, it will link to openssl, and a shared library dependency will be added to the resulting openssh binary rpms. If this openssh SRPM generates three binary RPMs (openssh, openssh-server, openssh-client), you can add explicit Requires to openssh for openssh-server and openssh-client. This will ensure that yum install openssh pulls all three packages in to resolve dependencies. If you want the daemon/service to start immediately after install, you can enable and start the systemd (or old sysvinit) service in %post, as documented here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Systemd You should never ever be building code in %post (it should happen in the %build section). You should never ever be calling rpm or yum within the spec file. hth, ~tom == Fedora Project -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
