I just checked for myself: [dag@lisse mrepo]# rpm -qp --provides /var/mrepo/rhel3as-i386/updates/*.rpm | grep GCC_4.2.0 libgcc_s.so.1(GCC_4.2.0) Apparently something went wrong with one of their packages. [dag@lisse mrepo]# for rpm in /var/mrepo/rhel3as-i386/updates/*.rpm; do rpm -qp --nosignature --provides $rpm | grep -q 'GCC_4.2.0' && echo $rpm; done /var/mrepo/rhel3as-i386/updates/libgcc-3.2.3-56.i386.rpm [dag@lisse mrepo]# for rpm in /var/mrepo/rhel3as-i386/updates/*.rpm; do rpm -qpR --nosignature $rpm | grep -q 'GCC_4.2.0' && echo $rpm; done /var/mrepo/rhel3as-i386/updates/libstdc++-3.2.3-56.i386.rpm So you're absolutely right.
