Hello Everyone, I created an (my first!) RPM of this software http://www.xen-tools.org/software/xen-tools/ but I'm having some issues when trying to install it. Before anyone ask, yes, the long term plan is to follow all the usual step to get the package officially accepted in Fedora, but I'd like to have it "working" before starting to do that. :-) So, xen-tools is just a collection of perl scripts, but having the package I'm making depend from perl is driving me nuts! :-O Spec file is attached (I've run it through rpmlint, and I know it have some issues, but still...) and here's what I get when I tr to install the result of `rpmbuild -ba xen-tools.spec': # yum install ../RPMS/noarch/xen-tools-4.3.1-1.fc18.noarch.rpm Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Examining ../RPMS/noarch/xen-tools-4.3.1-1.fc18.noarch.rpm: xen-tools-4.3.1-1.fc18.noarch Marking ../RPMS/noarch/xen-tools-4.3.1-1.fc18.noarch.rpm to be installed Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ... ---> Package xen-tools.noarch 0:4.3.1-1.fc18 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: perl(any) for package: xen-tools-4.3.1-1.fc18.noarch --> Processing Dependency: perl(any) for package: xen-tools-4.3.1-1.fc18.noarch --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: xen-tools-4.3.1-1.fc18.noarch (/xen-tools-4.3.1-1.fc18.noarch) Requires: perl(any) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest I googled for this quite a bit, but I don't seem to be able to find anything explaining how to make that "Requires: perl(any)" go away... :-( Any ideas? Thanks a lot and Regards, Dario -- <<This happens because I choose it to happen!>> (Raistlin Majere) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dario Faggioli, Ph.D, http://about.me/dario.faggioli Senior Software Engineer, Citrix Systems R&D Ltd., Cambridge (UK)

%description
xen-tools is a collection of simple Perl scripts which allow you to
easily create new guest Xen domains upon your Debian GNU/Linux host.
Once installed and configured you can create a new Xen instance in a
matter of minutes. Each new Xen domain will be complete with:
* All networking details setup, with either multiple
static IP addresses or DHCP.
* An installation of OpenSSH.
* An arbitrary set of partitions.
Your new instance will be completed by having the user accounts from
your guest system copied over, and you may optionally boot the
image as soon as it has been created.
