Description

The libgaim.so.0 issue is very bad, as nautilus-sendto can not be installed if not done by anaconda (which ignores the missing dependancy on libgaim.so.0). RPM will not ignore it without a force, however. I shifted the urgency to high as this causes the el5 repo to not have closure. This is a fairly serious issue ... as the RHEL-5 tree does not have repo closure and you can't install nautilus-sendto via yum or up2date. Is this bug at least going to be acknowledged? This bug really needs to be taken care of promptly. When we attempt to groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment" it fails because nautilus-sendto is in that group. since this does not seem to be moving forward (but it is rather important giving the problem with groupinstalls), the following SRPM seems to work on el5 (at least it builds and installs properly on el5 i386 and x86_64): http://people.centos.org/~hughesjr/nautilus-sendto/ Could someone please review this and if it works can we get it implemented so we can have a main repository with repo closure. Any news on that one? It is getting tedious to explain to people why there is some weird dependency on libgaim.so.0 even if there is no gaim in the distribution ... Three weeks later ... Any news? It's just a rebuild away with correct dependencies. It's on course for RHEL 5.3.0. Contact your support representatives if you need a fix before then. Note that the RHEL 5 repository *does* have repo closure - the dependency issue seems to only exist in non-RHEL repositories. The RHEL-5 repo does not have closure ... nautlius-sendto in production right now requires libgaim.so.0 ... that file is provided by gaim which is obsoleted by pidgin. if something SHOWS closure, it is a bug BECAUSE that process does not take into account obsoletes and counts gaim as providing the require ... however gaim can not be installed. Anaconda ignores the libgaim.so.0 requirement and happily installs nautilus-sendto even though libgaim.so.0 does not exist. Using yum to install it later will not work due to the obsoletes. (In reply to comment #12) > The RHEL-5 repo does not have closure ... nautlius-sendto in production right > now requires libgaim.so.0 ... that file is provided by gaim which is obsoleted > by pidgin. I'm sorry, but you are mistaken. I've double and triple-checked the RHEL 5 build of nautilus-sendto-0.7-5.fc6 (which is also the 5.1/5.2 version, the package hasn't changed). They do not require libgaim.so.0. Perhaps you are using a rebuild, and the issue is in that rebuild? If you do a base install, no X, then try to yum groupinstall the X Windows and Gnome Desktop Environment, you get this dependency error. This is a common problem with datacenter hosted customers using builds that do not include X by default who them need to install X and gnome. I've reproduced this consistently. (in reply to #c13) You are correct ... the RHEL5 (actually fc6) version somehow built a gaim plugin that was not linked against libgaim.so. That would have made it be broken if gaim still existed. So I guess that that part of the problem only happens if you build nautilus-sendto against RHEL and not FC6. This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. If you would like this request to be reviewed for the next minor release, ask your support representative to set the next rhel-x.y flag to "?". This is easy to work around yum -y groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment" --exclude nautilus-sendto Done. Okay its a bug but we'll live through it. Or just install the FC6 version: http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/core/6/$arch/os/Fedora/RPMS/nautilus-sendto-0.7-5.fc6.$arch.rpm Release note added. If any revisions are required, please set the "requires_release_notes" flag to "?" and edit the "Release Notes" field accordingly.
