Hello,
I am creating a binary RPM package for a file viewer.
The application links to "libcurl.so.2" dynamically. However, on systems, where it is unable to locate "libcurl.so.2", the application looks for "libcurl.so.3" and links dynamically. The application fails to launch if it cannot find either of the two libraries.
I want to include the same info in the spec file. I want that the rpm package should show failed dependency (while doing "rpm -U") if it cannot locate "libcurl.so.2" or "libcurl.so.3" in the user-system.
For this I am adding the following line in my spec file: Requires: libcurl.so <= 3
However, the rpm shows failed dependency on the system which has "libcurl.so.2" or "libcurl.so.3".
I tried some other permutations (like "Requires: libcurl.so.2 <=S 3"), but the rpm still shows failed dependency.
Only when I explicitly mention "Requires: libcurl.so.2", the rpm installation succeeds on the systems having "libcurl.so.2" and similarly for "libcurl.so.3".
What I want to know:
Is there any way by which I can specify (in the spec file), that "rpm -U" should fail on the system which does NOT have either "libcurl.so.2" or "libcurl.so.3". In this case the rpm package should show failed dependency.
Thanks in advance. -Bhupinder
