Description Petr Pisar 2015-08-31 13:01:52 UTC

rpmdiff from rpmlint-1.7-1.fc23.noarch does not lists added Recommends tags:

$ rpm -q --recommends -p noarch/perl-Module-Pluggable-5.10-6.fc24.noarch.rpm 
$ rpm -q --recommends -p noarch/perl-Module-Pluggable-5.2-1.fc24.noarch.rpm 
perl(Module::Runtime) >= 0.012

$ rpmdiff -i 5 -i S -i T noarch/perl-Module-Pluggable-5.10-6.fc24.noarch.rpm noarch/perl-Module-Pluggable-5.2-1.fc24.noarch.rpm 
removed     REQUIRES perl(Exporter)  
removed     REQUIRES perl(base)  
added       REQUIRES perl(Exporter) >= 5.57
removed     PROVIDES perl(Module::Pluggable) = 5.1
removed     PROVIDES perl(Module::Pluggable::Object) = 5.1
added       PROVIDES perl(Module::Pluggable) = 5.2
added       PROVIDES perl(Module::Pluggable::Object) = 5.2

I'd expect the `perl(Module::Runtime) >= 0.012' would appear as `added'.

I feel rpmdiff does not understand weak dependencies.

Comment 1 Ville Skyttä 2015-09-01 15:00:29 UTC

True, it doesn't, this is an upstream issue.

Comment 2 Jan Kurik 2016-02-24 13:41:40 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle.
Changing version to '24'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2017-07-25 19:13:09 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 4 Petr Pisar 2017-07-26 11:42:00 UTC

Still an issue in rpmlint-1.9-11.fc27.noarch.

Comment 5 Ville Skyttä 2017-07-26 11:59:03 UTC

Implemented upstream now: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpmlint/commit/6aa41c50a72a40ec5652b27de7ceeac1f4b43384

Comment 7 Paul Howarth 2017-11-17 11:26:05 UTC

This feature was included in rpmlint-1.10-1.fc25 quite some time ago.
