OK Anders, like the "fake rpm" idea. But have no idea how one does that.
Something like this ------------------------<cut>--------------------------------------- Summary: fake Name: fake Version: 1.0 Release: 1 Copyright: heh Provides: libexif.so.9 %description Fake rpm to 'provide' things that are on the system but that rpm can't see %build %install %post %postun %files %changelog * Sun Apr 04 2004 Anders Johansson <andjoh@rydsbo.net> - Created spec file ----------------------------------------------<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 I'm sure there are other ways of doing it as well. This is the simplest I can think of. Other suggestions are welcome
