This might be the wrong list to ask createrepo questions. I'm trying to create a list of dependencies for a given list of package names during package build. The steps are like this: - put "# needsbinariesforbuild" into libguestfs.spec - symlink /.build.binaries/* to a private $tmpdir - run "createrepo $tmpdir" - create a private repos.d with a single repo pointing to that $tmpdir - call 'zypper ... install --dry-run --download-only module-init-tools' This fails because module-init-tools.spec has "PreReq: /usr/bin/eu-nm", which comes from elfutils. Putting elfutils into BuildRequires puts this package also into /.build.binaries/. But createrepo still fails to create a dependency for /usr/bin/eu-nm. After poking around in my 11.4 repo data I found /usr/bin/eu-nm in "suse/setup/descr/packages.gz", which is eventually the place where libzypp is looking for further dependencies. I see a "Req: /usr/bin/eu-nm" in module-init-tools and a "Prv: /usr/bin/eu-nm" in elfutils in that file. My question is how do I tell createrepo to handle this /usr/bin/eu-nm dependency of module-init-tools so that zypper can resolve it properly with a rpm-md repo?
