Broken dependency for RHEL6
 

Hi,

I am receiving the following email from Koji:

----------------------------------------------------------------

fmtools has broken dependencies in the epel-6 tree:

On x86_64:

* * * *fmtools-tkradio-2.0.1-2.el6.noarch requires python-lirc

On i386:

* * * *fmtools-tkradio-2.0.1-2.el6.noarch requires python-lirc

On ppc64:

* * * *fmtools-tkradio-2.0.1-2.el6.noarch requires python-lirc

Please resolve this as soon as possible.
---------------------------------------------------------------

It is just a question of buiding python-lirc, which
builds fine even on RHEL 5.

I have never built anything for RHEL (epel).

Can I do that? What is the procedure?

Thanks.

If the el6 branch exists, which it might if it had an el5 branch, just:

fedpkg clone python-lirc ; cd python-lirc ; fedpkg switch-branch el6 ;
fedpkg build


If it doesn't exist, find the review bug and file a SCM maintenence
request there, complete with cvs-admin flag=?, for an el6 branch.

Once that's fulfilled, do the above.

That is the problem. python-lirc has never been built for RHEL.

I know it works because I built it myself on rhel5 a long time ago, and
I run it there just fine.



I will do the request as you suggested.

Thanks.

You may also wish to request co-maintainer status in pkgdb if you would
like to help maintain this package. It looks like it's owned by thias.

Well, I changed the code for not requiring python-lirc and updated rawhide successfully.

But it seems I can not build for RHEL6* (but rhel6 is listed on packagedb for fmtools ...)

You don't have access in pkgdb for el6. You'll need to request it.

Can you revert that, rawhide has python-lirc so it doesn't help to
remove it there.

You need to request it for EPEL-6, but it's weird that you have been
warned about a broken depedency on a branch that you wasn't a commiter
yet.

Can you revert that, rawhide has python-lirc so it doesn't help to

remove it there.

It is not necessary. If python-lirc is installed it will be used (it is only not
installed by default).

I think Requires(hint) should have this function, but in fact it enforces

the same way as just an ordinary Requires.

You need to request it for EPEL-6, but it's weird that you have been

warned about a broken depedency on a branch that you wasn't a commiter

yet.

I think other people in a similar situation are also receiving these warnings.

RPM (at least rpm.org RPM, which we use; I have no idea about what rpm5.org
does) doesn't actually support Requires(hint). It just treats this as a
regular Requires, and future versions are likely to error entirely when they
see it.

More precisely, there's an ancient flaw in the spec parser which allows
unknown dependency qualifiers to slip through in some situations.
Requires(hint) is just as meaningful to rpm as Requires(iwantmypony),
literally, and both will report an error in some combinations of
and on others (such as when they're the only qualifier) it'll
slip through and end up treated as regular requires.

And future versions WILL error out on them.
