https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=246871 Summary: rpm should not require a specific version of popt Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 1 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de QAContact: qa@suse.de I just tried to package standalone popt, but rpm won't let me install it: # rpm -U --test popt-1.10.7-0.i586.rpm error: Failed dependencies: popt = 1.7 is needed by (installed) rpm-4.4.2-84.i586 Maybe this: PreReq: popt = %{popt_version} should better be: PreReq: popt >= %{popt_version} This change should be harmless, the PreReq has been added to support new installations, but whether "=" or ">=" is used makes a difference only during system upgrades (">" cannot happen during a new installation) and there the PreReq is probably not needed at all. The versioned requirement is already sufficiently expressed through the SONAME dependency (Requires: libpopt.so.0). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
