If I have

BuildRequires: fdupes

in my spec file, my mandrivia 2010 2010.1 and 2009 builds fail with the reason being "nothing provides fdupes"

But if I go to RPM pbone.net: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3

Then I find that mandrivia 2010 2010.1 and 2009 do have a fdupes package. What gives?

Is there some "buildservice" way of determining what distro has what packages providing what identifiers, rather than using RPM pbone.net?

Thank You.

Hi You need to build it (or link to it) and add into your build repository. eg; http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=fdupes&baseproject=Mandriva%3A2010.1&lang=en&exclude_debug=true

But why is it not in the mandrivia distro? RPM pbone.net says it is already there.

It is not part of their main distro. Maybe contrib or any extra repo, but this is currently not imported. -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
