Hi. My issue is this: an rpm is created in a dev. environment, where all of its dependencies are fulfilled, yet is installed in such environments where those deps are only partially fulfilled. In order to alleviate the dep clash during installation, the maintainer builds the rpm with "AutoReqProv=no". Yet this causes the RPM not to auto-generate any "Provides" clauses. Packages depending on this rpm fail installing because of this. If I understand correctly, AutoReqProv parameter triggers auto-generation of both "Requires" and "Provides". I've found several indications that there used to be an 'AutoReq' and an 'AutoProv', separating this functionality, but it seems those params are not supported any more. a) is this correct - that 'AutoReq' and 'AutoProv' are obsolete? b) Other than manually specifying "Provides" in the spec file, is there a different suggested method of handling such a case? c) What's the reason, technically, to bundle 'AutoReq' and 'AutoProv' together? Can't they be separated? 10x, Amit _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
