OK Anders, like the "fake rpm" idea. But have no idea how one does that.
Something like this
------------------------<cut>---------------------------------------
save that in /usr/src/packages/SPECS/ as fake.spec and "rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/packages/SPECS/fake.spec"
That will build an empty rpm that will convince rpm that you have libexif.so.9. If you have other things you want to tell rpm about, just add more "Provides" lines
Thanks Anders, Followed your instructions. When I went to build the rpm I got the following message: linux:/ # rpm -bb /usr/src/packages/SPECS/fake.spec Group field must be present in package: (main package) linux:/ # Don't know what the group field would be. Just a little more help would be really appreciated. Note that I am running 8.2 and don't have rpmbuild. Thanks, Bob S.
I'm sure there are other ways of doing it as well. This is the simplest I can think of. Other suggestions are welcome
