Description Dan Callaghan 2016-11-07 23:57:32 UTC 
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.2

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpmdeplint check --repo=... beaker-*.noarch.rpm

Actual results:
Problems with dependency set:
nothing provides /bin/bash needed by beaker-lab-controller-23.3-1.el6eng.noarch
nothing provides /usr/bin/python needed by beaker-client-23.3-1.el6eng.noarch
nothing provides make needed by beaker-23.3-1.el6eng.src
nothing provides python(abi) = 2.6 needed by beaker-common-23.3-1.el6eng.noarch
nothing provides Xvfb needed by beaker-integration-tests-23.3-1.el6eng.noarch
nothing provides /bin/sh needed by beaker-server-23.3-1.el6eng.noarch
nothing provides /bin/sh needed by beaker-lab-controller-addDistro-23.3-1.el6eng.noarch

Expected results:
A usage error telling me that rpmdeplint does not know which target architecture I want to test against, and that I need to tell it using --arch.
Comment 1 Dan Callaghan 2016-11-10 00:44:22 UTC 
I noticed another related problem: if rpmdeplint is given both archful packages and noarch packages, it errors out because it considers that to be two "incompatible arches" which is not supported.
