Think I owe everyone a follow-up on this question: (and pose a new question: at what stage are dependencies determined ? )
After an email discussion with Jeff Johson, I managed to track down cause of the sudden dependency: A mistake by one of my colleagues had turned on the execute bit on all of our archive. Since the %install stanza just copies the files from the archive to the buildroot, suddenly the files were executable, and the rpm dependency checking got triggered.
However, this doesn't quite explain everything:
A number of other files (which are installed to application paths) also have their execution bit turned on, but don't show their dependencies when I do a --filerequire
In other words, it looks like the dependency is not always picked up, or at least attached to the individual path names.
My question : At what stage is the dependency check done ? During the build phase, or after the install phase of the spec file ?
Thanks,
TimT

What is the result of this command on the original rpm and the rebuild rpm ? Sure
are you using the same machine and the software version ?
rpm -qp --queryformat '%{RPMVERSION}\n' TimT-5.0.1.d-0.x86_64.rpmboth cases 4.8.0, and I'm sure I'm using the same buildhost in both cases.. there is only one available
BTW, /bin/sh is because you probably have some scriplet section and use sh for it (%pre, %post ecc): the default.
The package contains a number of scripts for installation purposes. The thing that triggered me to look at this was the /usr/bin/ksh which did not exist. I'd fix that, but I'd like to understand what caused the change between last friday afternoon and this morning. (found some older versions of the RPM, also built using 4.8.0, same contents, no dependency on /bin/sh or /usr/bin/ksh )
Thanks for your input !

Best Regards_______________________________________________Last friday, I build a package TimT-5.0.1.d-0.x86_64.rpm
rpm -qip --requires TimT-5.0.1.d-0.x86_64.rpm
Name : TimT Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version : 5.0.1.d Vendor: Tim T.
Release : 0 Build Date: Fri 23 Sep 2011 10:39:29 AM MEST
Install Date: (not installed) Build Host: buildhost
Group : System Source RPM : TimT-5.0.1.d-0.src.rpm
Size : 35881 License: commercial
Signature : (none)
Summary : installation software
Description :
TimT - installation software
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
This morning I rebuilt the package :
rpm -qip --requires TimT-5.0.1.a-0.x86_64.rpm
Name : TimT Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version : 5.0.1.a Vendor: TimT
Release : 0 Build Date: Tue 27 Sep 2011 12:25:26 PM MEST
Install Date: (not installed) Build Host: buildhost
Group : System Source RPM: TimT-5.0.1.a-0.src.rpm
Size : 35881 License:commercial
Signature : (none)
Summary : installation software
Description :
TimT - installation software
/bin/sh
/usr/bin/ksh
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
(for legal reasons, I changed the name of the package in the above output. )
The only deliberate change in the above is the version number from 5.0.1.d to 5.0.1.a
My systems people swear that they did not change anything, installation history on the buildhost confirms this
Source files haven't changed, they are simple shell-scripts and they do use the /bin/sh, and /usr/bin/ksh
rpms are generated using
/usr/bin/rpmbuild -bb --quiet --buildroot /tmp/buildroot timt.spec
spec file hasn't changed.
Any suggestions as to where to look ? I'm stumped.
