Yet those files exist on the computer. the rpm depencies are stored in a db. Rpm don't search it on the filesystem. What is the result of rpm -q --provides on the deps ? If nothing probably the files was not installed via rpm, so rpm doesn't know nothing about it. ________________________________ From: FlorianFesti <ffesti@xxxxxxxxxx> To: rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thu, March 10, 2011 11:34:04 AM Subject: Re: Ignore RPM Dependencies On 03/10/2011 05:46 PM, Ian Lake wrote: > Neither of which got rid of the dependencies. How do I get rid of them? Well, the actual question is: Why do you want to get rid of them? If your package actually uses Python, a shell and glibc the requirements should stay. RPM does check dependencies on real world data and not (only) by package name as you may know from deb. If you want single executable not to generate requirements (like example scripts) you can remove the executable bit in the install root with chmod.
