Files list in package

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how RPM determines what files are provided by a
package.  I'm in a position where I need to upgrade a particular package
that provides a couple of shared libraries.  The new version provides
newer versions of the libraries, and I want to add a couple of symlinks
in the package that will act as the old versions of the libraries for
backwards compatibility with all my other existing packages. 
Unfortunately, when I try to install the package, RPM spits out a huge
list of dependencies that will be broken, and I can't figure out how to
get the package to say that it actually does provide the libraries in
question.

I need to be able to overcome this problem instead of just using
"--nodeps" because I'll be using autorpm to do a wide-scale deployment. 
Any feedback anyone has would be very welcome.

TIA,

Tom
