Description Klaus Steinberger 2002-08-23 08:20:08 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020711

Description of problem:
The latest bug fix version of the php RPMS (4.1.2-7.3.3) has too strong
requirements for installation. The main Package requires also any Packages which
are required for the subpackages.

php requires the following packages which should be only required
by the appropriate subpackages:

imap
imap-devel
mysql
mysql-devel
postgresql
postgresql-devel
ucd-snmp
ucd-snmp-util
ucd-snmp-devel
unixODBC
unixODBC-devel

So it is not possible to install php if e.g. postgresql is not installed. These
requirements should be only in the subpackages.
e.g. php-pgsql should require postgresql.

The -devel Package should be even only BuildPreReqs ! Never Requirements for
installation!


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.try to install php-4.1.2-7.3.3 without postgresql
2.
3.

Just a minor addition: I tried to use the patch and realized that (f)lex is 
missing in the BuildRequirements.

Comment 3 Ingo T. Storm 2002-08-23 10:57:21 UTC 
libtool and gcc-c++ are missing from BuildRequires, too.

To be really strict: so are gcc, cpp.

You'll find a much longer and involved discussion in #72007
