What does rpm -q --whatprovides libreadline.so.4 say? # rpm -q --whatprovides libreadline.so.4 no package provides libreadline.so.4 Then this isn't an rpm problem, as rpm -q --whatprovides searches for dependencies. What does rpm -q --provides readline say? If there is no "libreadline.so.4", then you need to find a readline )or possibly other) package that actually Provides: the needed dependency. # rpm -q --provides readline libhistory.so.4.1 libreadline.so.4.1 readline = 4.1-9 But note in the original rpm -ql that the package also provides /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4 which is merely a link to /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.1 Yup, but those are not dependencies, only files. The package header must supply a Provides: or any matching Requires: will fail. Look for a readline package that has the needed Provides: |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20011126 Netscape6/6.2.1 Description of problem: The terminal session below shows a package install failing because of a missing dependency. It also shows that the required package is installed, and that rpm can see it. Is this a bug, or do I merely misunderstand the situation? Note that I tried an rpm --rebuilddb which apparently succeeded, in that it ran for a while and terminated with no messages.
