Description Gregory Leblanc 2001-05-27 18:24:54 UTC

Description of problem:
When I issue a command like 'rpm --rebuild GConf-1.0.1-0.1.src.rpm
gdm-2.2.1-0.1.src.rpm' in an attempt to rebuild both of those packages, rpm
checks for BuildRequires dependancies.  However, it checks these on only
the first package, not on all packages listed.  This means that I can't
ensure that all dependancies are met before any of the builds start.  

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Issue a command to rebuild 2 or more SRPMs where multiple packages have
un-met build time dependancies
2. Install packages to meet build-time dependancies that are listed at the
failure of the first step
3. re-issue first command, it should complete the build of the first set of
binary rpms, but fail when it gets to the second, because it's build-time
dependancies aren't met.
	

Actual Results:  RPM test/lists only the un-met build-time dependancies of
the first package on the command line.

Expected Results:  RPM should list the un-met build-time dependancies of
all packages listed on the command line.
Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2001-05-28 17:51:38 UTC 
Try
    for i in GConf-1.0.1-0.1.src.rpm gdm-2.2.1-0.1.src.rpm
    do
	rpm --rebuild $i
    done
as there's much more (like re-ordering package builds using build dependencies)
that is more important to do with build dependencies before attempting to fix
this
problem. That's gonna take a while ...
