Hi All, I have an rpm .spec that used to use AutoReq: 0 AutoReqProv: 0 to ignore meaningless dependencies. I know I do NOT need the dependencies that are listed, and I have to get this rpm build for a system install. I know the whole idea is to address dependencies, but sometimes there are exceptions to the rule. Anyone able to tell me how this can be done *within the rpm .spec*? I know about the --nodeps, yes, and that is not an option. It's too complicated to go into. rpm -ivh --test RPMS/yr-fe1.lanl.gov/idl-7.0.unix-7.0.unix.ptools1.RHEL4.x86_64.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libclntsh.so is needed by idl-7.0.unix-7.0-unix.x86_64 libivicu20.so is needed by idl-7.0.unix-7.0-unix.x86_64 libjawt.so()(64bit) is needed by idl-7.0.unix-7.0-unix.x86_64 libprocli92.so is needed by idl-7.0.unix-7.0-unix.x86_64 Direct mail would be very much appreciated, but I'll monitor the email for a while. Thanks!
