Hi all,
First let me explain the scenario:
I am building package for CUPS. As per my spec file i will get three
binary packages, cups-1.1.23, cups-libs-1.1.23 and cups-devel-1.1.23
In my spec file for the devel section i have specified
Requires: %{name} = %{version}
Now after successfully building the packages when i try to install the
resulting 3 rpm files
# rpm -ivh cups*rpm
i get dependency error while processing cups-devel package. I get
message saying that this package requires cups = 1.1.23 and the same
is not available.
As i understand, since i am giving rpm -ivh cups*rpm, i should not be
getting this error message.
To install the package the package i can use --nodeps and everything works fine.
Also if i modify my spec and change the Requires: option in the devel section to
Requires: %{name} >= %{version}
and install the resulting binary packages using the above mentioned
command "rpm -ivh cups*rpm" i don't get the error and all the files
gets installed.
Note: this works if i use %{name} <= %{version} aslo and not for
%{name} = %{version}
Can anyone tell me as to why i getthe error in my first case?
Thanks,
Vishy
