Description Ville Skyttä 2002-05-02 13:01:58 UTC

Rawhide's xemacs-21.4.6-8 seems to be missing requirements. 
After an update from xemacs-21.4.6-7, here's what I get: 
[scop@bobcat scop]$ xemacs 
xemacs: error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.3: cannot open shared object file: 
No such file or directory 
 
This is fixed by installing openmotif-2.2.2-5. 
There are certainly some other requirements missing from the xemacs RPM 
(the same problem occurs with libwnn.so.0, fixed by installing FreeWnn-libs), see: 
[scop@bobcat scop]$ rpm -qRp xemacs-21.4.6-8.i386.rpm 
info 
ctags 
rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 
 
However, "ldd /usr/bin/xemacs-21.4.6" lists pretty many libs... 
 
My system is RH7.2, with some parts updated from Rawhide.

Comment 1 Ville Skyttä 2002-05-02 13:06:42 UTC

Just verified that "rpm -qR" for xemacs-21.4.6-7.i386.rpm (the older version) gives the  
expected output with all shared libs listed.

Comment 2 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2002-05-06 23:03:25 UTC

Did you use nodeps? If the you didn't have the library and rpm let you install
it, that would be an rpm bug...

Comment 3 Ville Skyttä 2002-05-06 23:17:41 UTC

No, I didn't use --nodeps (because there are practically no dependencies in the xemacs 
RPM, so rpm didn't tell me to install what's needed).  
 
But please take another look at my previous comments, shouldn't "rpm -qRp 
xemacs-21.4.6-8.i386.rpm" print out a lot of dependencies for libs too, in addition to 
"info" and "ctags" and the "rpmlib" stuff?  At least "rpm -qRp 
xemacs-21.1.14-23.7.2.i386.rpm" (from 7.2 updates) does... 
 
Might still be an rpm bug, dunno?  I have rpm-4.0.4-7x from 7.2 updates installed.

Comment 4 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2002-05-07 19:04:43 UTC

(modified means "fixed, waiting for QA confirmation". Setting to assigned.)

It's a bug in rpm. The first three lines of one of the scripts in the package read:

: # -*-Perl-*-
eval 'exec perl -w -S $0 ${1+"$@"}' # Portability kludge
    if 0;

Rpm's find-requires thinks ":" is the interpreter, and bugs out completely,
losing  all other dependencies. 


xemacs-21.4.6-9 has a temporary workaround for this rpm bug (chmod -x this file).

Comment 5 Jeff Johnson 2002-05-07 19:19:51 UTC

Patch your script to put 
	#!/usr/bin/perl
at the beginning of the script.

Comment 6 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2002-05-07 20:04:46 UTC

The existing script works. The bug is in rpm - it getting confused in the first
place is a bug itself (although hard to fix), forgetting all other dependencies
is a much more severe bug.

Comment 7 Jeff Johnson 2002-05-09 14:47:56 UTC

The core issue is whether a build should
fail because a dependency is malformed.
The traditional behavior of rpm is to
succeed in building, as there is no
definition of well formedness wrto
dependency tokens.
