Re: automatic dependencies and relocatabel package

Thanks Mats!
I've simply added  "Provides: /bin/sh" to my package.

In fact I would be happy to have required version of bash installed in my private RPM area, but relocatable bash RPM requires non-relocatable glibc and others, so I gave up ... It seems there is no way to 'merge' 2 or more RPM databases (e.g. the system one and a private one) ?

I have the following problem with building a relocatable RPM package: even if I specify AutoReqProv: no in spec file, it generates dependency on /bin/sh (probably due to my package includes some shell scripts), which is not available as I install my package using a private RPM database, like:


rpm -i --dbpath /home/akazarov/releases/testRPMinst/RPMDB
--prefix=/home/akazarov/releases/testRPMinst /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/LCG-43a-0.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
      /bin/sh is needed by LCG-43a-0
  Suggested resolutions:
      bash-2.05b-41.4.i386.rpm

The rest of dependencies (on system DLLs) are not there, as desired, but this /bin/sh is ...

the /bin/sh is there because something has to run your
package scripts on install.

you simply have to push this into your private database.
make an otherwise empty package that "Provides: /bin/sh"
and install that before you get started.
