Hi
Because I need to install CA's Siteminder web agent on a number of web
servers I want to create an rpm from the binary installer delivered by
CA.
Probably in part because I'm not familiar (yet) with how to build RPMs I
have run into a number of issues but finally I have been able to build
an RPM of both an older version and a newer version. (I won't go into
the details as to why I need both - it's a long story.)
Anyway installing the RPM I built from the old version works fine.
However when I try to upgrade the old version to the new I get:
# rpm -Uvh webagent-6.5.12-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libodbc.so is needed by webagent-6.5.12-1
libodbcinst.so is needed by webagent-6.5.12-1
libverify.so(VER_1) is needed by webagent-6.5.12-1
These dependencies are also displayed in rpmbuilds output:
..

What I find strange is that even though these files are detected as
dependencies they are nowhere to be found on the machine on which I
built the RPM.
I have tried to discover why these files would be added as dependencies
by following the steps the find-requires script takes (as described on
http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/s1-rpm-depend-auto-depend.html).
But they are not listed (well "libverify.so" is but not
"libverify.so(VER_1)").
How can I determine whether or not these files are actually needed? And
if they are not how can I prevent rpmbuild from including them as
dependencies?
Kind regards
