This is a good idea, dunno if I can get into rpm-4.0.3, but will try to get in soon thereafter. Thanks for the report. This is still a good idea, but, since it changes the error message that is wired into rpm python bindings and such, it's gonna take some work. I'm gonna mark "4.1" in the subject, trying to get the work prioritized. Fixed in rpm-4.1-0.36 when built. |
Description of Problem: This is just a wishlist. During "rpm -ivh some_pkg.rpm" the libraries needed (but not installed) by some_pkg.rpm and those which conflict with existing libraries are listed out as : libxyz.so.3 is needed by some_pkg libuvw.so.3 is needed by old_pkg Its not clear from this message that libxyz.so.3 is an unistalled one while libuvw.so.3 is already installed. Also its not evident that old_pkg is an installed rpm. Perhaps a message such as : libxyz.so.3 is needed by some_pkg libuvw.so.3(installed) is needed by current old_pkg will be more helpful, particularly when such lists are large. In that case the user will not have to do "rpm -q .." to find which pkg is installed and which is not. How Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
