From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: [Probably too early for this report.] rpmdb-redhat has been replaced with rpmdb-fedora-0.95-0.20031010, which moves the dependency universe database from /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat to: /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/fedora But in /usr/lib/rpm/rpmpopt-4.2.1, the --redhatprovides and --redhatrequires alias definitons still access /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat and hence fail. Either the "rpm" package needs an update or the two alias definitions need to be overridden in the "redhat-rpm-config" package (which might become fedora-rpm-config in the future ;). The "rpmdb-fedora" package defines %_solve_dbpath in /etc/rpm/macros.solve. That macro could be used as soon as it is updated to define the correct path, too. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.2.1-0.30 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm --redhatprovides kernel 2. rpm -qa 'rpmdb*' Actual Results: rpmdb-fedora-0.95-0.20031010 Expected Results: kernel-BOOT-2.4.22-1.2088.nptl rpmdb-fedora-0.95-0.20031010
For cross-reference: bug #106844 (%_solve_dbpath macro is wrong in rpmdb-fedora package)
Both the --redhatprovides and --redhatrequires popt aliases are obsolete/legacy as suggested packages are looked up for install failures. Get rpmdb-fedora installed "correctly" (whatever that means) and rpm should self-configure to use.
Just for reference, the final release of Fedora Core 1 moved the rpmdb-fedora back to /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat.
