Description Stepan Kasal 2009-08-31 13:09:40 UTC

Description of problem:
"rpm -e" seems to ignore file dependencies, for example
  rpm -e --test mkinitrd
reports no problem, and indeed "rpm -e mkinitrd" succeeds, leaving package "kernel" win an unsatisfied dependency.

I tried "rm /var/lib/rpm/__*" and "rpm --rebuilddb" but it didn't help

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-4.7.1-4.fc12.i686

How reproducible:
always

Comment 1 Panu Matilainen 2009-09-01 06:07:55 UTC

The kernel only has Requires(pre): dependencies to mkinitrd which to rpm means mkinitrd is not needed after installation. That verify complains about it is a bug in verify (and this is a dupe)

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 223642 ***

Comment 2 Panu Matilainen 2009-09-01 06:24:47 UTC

The other bug here is that the kernel is missing at least one scriptlet dependency:
   Requires(preun): /sbin/new-kernel-pkg

ouch, got trapped again.  The "rpm -qR" output is really confusing.
Is there a way to list the requires with the corresponding flags?
