Description Marian Krcmarik 2012-11-06 13:22:52 UTC

Description of problem:
Query installed packages with --whatprovides rpm option rather than only with -q.
Use cases:
1. libjpeg package in RHEL6.4 will be replaced by libjpeg-turbo, so Host installation will not find libjpeg package once It queries "rpm -q libjpeg". Adding --whatprovides option should output the right provider of libjpeg - libjpeg-turbo.
2. If qemu-kvm-rhev is installed on the host, queiryng "rpm -q qemu-kvm" gives a warning even though qemu-kvm-rhev provides qemu-kvm.

I may be indeed missing something but It looks to me a better idea to query packages with the option --whatprovides.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
vdsm-4.9.6-41.0

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a host with qemu-kvm-rhev or libjpeg-turbo into RHEVM.
  
Actual results:
Warnings about not installed packages for either qemu-kvm-rhev and family or libjpeg

Expected results:
It should not warn or fail the installation since needed binaries, libraries are provided by qemu-*-rhev or libjpeg-turbo.

Ad: 2. As I am thinking, maybe RHEVM should require qemu-*-rhev rather than qemu-*. Then qemu-kvm should be changed in VDS_PACK tuple to qemu-kvm-rhev. Anyway using --whatprovides is still better at least for libjpeg-turbo case and any similar.

Comment 3 Alon Bar-Lev 2012-11-06 22:52:38 UTC

Hello,

3.2 will have a complete rewritten bootstrap.
Part of the rewrite contains already merged upstream usage of yum API to install packages.
It will install all packages in a single transaction within explicit adding the dependencies.

Alon.
