Description Mathieu Bridon 2011-03-23 09:34:32 UTC
Description of problem:
Doxygen has a BuildRequires on qt-devel >= 4.4

The problem is that qt3-devel has the following:
    Provides: qt-devel = 1:%{version}-%{release}

While qt4-devel provides: 
    qt-devel = %{version}-%{release}

Obviously, 1:whatever is always > (none):4.4, which causes yum-builddep to be wrong about the dependency to download for building doxygen.

It has been discussed in Fedora and fixed already:
- qt3 dropped its provide on qt-devel [1]
- packages with BuildRequires on qt-devel have been fixed to explicitly require either qt3-devel or qt4-devel [2][3]

Could this be fixed in RHEL like it was done in Fedora?


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
doxygen-1.6.1-4.el6


Additional infos:
This effectively makes doxygen unbuildable in mock.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-03-23 10:08:16 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.
