Description Glen Foster 2001-06-15 20:44:25 UTC

Description of Problem: with the 7.1 product, you cannot build the ext2ed
SRPM without having readline-devel installed.   But, if "rpm -ba
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ext2ed*spec" is executed, you do NOT get an error
from rpm about missing/unsatisfied build dependencies.  If you install the
readline-devel rpm, the ext2ed SRPM builds without problems.

 How Reproducible: Always

 Steps to Reproduce:
 1. rpm -e readline-devel
 2. rpm -Uvh <tree-path>/SRPMS/ext2ed*.src.rpm
 3. rpm -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ext2ed*spec
 4. rpm -Uvh <tree-path>/RedHat/RPMS/readline-devel*
 5. rpm -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ext2ed*spec

 Actual Results:
 first 3 steps result in a failure WITHOUT a build-requires error from
rpm(1)
 next 2 steps build the SRPM without fail


 Expected Results: I would expect an rpm error message to be written to
stderr informing me the ext2ed SRPM cannot be built without installing the
readline-devel RPM.
