Description Josi Romildo Malaquias 2001-06-21 11:57:55 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686)

Description of problem:
I was unable to rebuild the XFree86-4.1.0-0.5.9 package because it requires
Mesa >= 3.4.2-0.410.2 and Mesa-3.4.2-0.410.2 cannot be installed because it
requires XFree86 >= 4.1.0.

This is in a Red Hat Linux 7.1 system with updates.
I need to rebuild XFree86 because the binaries from
Raw Hide depends on a new glibc library.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -Fvh XFree86*-4.1.0-0.5.9.i386.rpm
2. rpm -Fvh Mesa*-3.4.2-0.410.2.i386.rpm
3. rpm --rebuild XFree86-4.1.0-0.5.9.src.rpm


Actual Results:  1. Error message:
   Mesa >= 3.4.2-0.410.2 is needed by XFree86-4.1.0-0.5.9

2. Error message:
   XFree86 >= 4.1.0 is needed by Mesa-3.4.2-0.410.2

3. Error message:
   error: failed build dependencies:
        Mesa-devel >= 3.4.2-0.410.2 is needed by XFree86-4.1.0-0.5.9

Expected Results:  1.
2.
3. Rebuilt the XFree86-4.1.0-0.5.9 package

I think all you need is to install XFree86+Mesa on
the same rpm command. Try:

>rpm -Fvh XFree86*-4.1.0-0.5.9.i386.rpm Mesa*-3.4.2-0.410.2.i386.rpm

Instead of:
>rpm -Fvh XFree86*-4.1.0-0.5.9.i386.rpm
>rpm -Fvh Mesa*-3.4.2-0.410.2.i386.rpm

Comment 2 Josi Romildo Malaquias 2001-06-21 14:05:48 UTC
Installing both packages at once with

  rpm -Fvh XFree86*-4.1.0-0.5.9.i386.rpm Mesa*-3.4.2-0.410.2.i386.rpm

would be the solution for the binary packages mutual dependency, if the XFree86
packages did not depend on a new glibc binary package that I do not want to have
installed in my system. The above command gives me

  libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.3)   is needed by XFree86-libs-4.1.0-0.5.9

That is the reason for rebuilding the packages. But their building seems to be
mutually dependent, as described.

Comment 3 Alexei Podtelezhnikov 2001-06-24 19:34:35 UTC
Once you start using rawhide, go ahead and update your glibc to 2.2.3-11
I breaks nothing for me under RH 7.1

Comment 4 Mike A. Harris 2001-07-12 23:16:15 UTC
Install glibc 2.2.3 first, then XFree86 and Mesa.  Do not use 0.5.9 though.
You will not get what you are looking for.  Nobody should use XFree86-4.1.0 less
than release 0.8.6.  Wait until it is in rawhide and use it.

The build dependancy will *NOT* ever be fixed.  For details, query bugzilla as I
have said it to many times.  Mesa is going away completely in the future.
