Perhaps I'm missing something, but... The dependencies for source rpms are normally there so that the package builds properly. SRPMS don't provide any dependencies, and in fact aren't part of the rpm database. "rpmbuild *.src.rpm" would have made no difference, as rpm is looking for required _installed_ packages. If you have to resort to --nodeps to build the package, chances are good that the package didn't build the same way it was built by Red Hat. (Missing features, etc.) Without specific examples of the package and dependencies involved, this is just a guess, of course. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+1U8fn/07WoAb/SsRAhp9AKCVhw/Muh7NtiI9YSrHgX1SzO4CCACeMvpF 6bpjLKGP9UZisBnT2U7oYaI= =mPhS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
