From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703 Description of problem: The fetchmail of FC1 will complain about relocation error when used with krb5-libs from RH9 update. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fetchmail-6.2.0-7 (krb5-libs-1.2.7-14) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install RH9 with the upgrade krb5-libs-1.2.7-14 2.Install fetchmail-6.2.0-7 from FC1 with whatever RPM says it requires. 3.Run: fetchmail -V Actual Results: uebn> fetchmail -V fetchmail: relocation error: fetchmail: undefined symbol: GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE Expected Results: uebn>> fetchmail -V This is fetchmail release 6.2.0+IMAP-GSS+NTLM+SSL+INET6+NLS ... Additional info: I suppose fetchmail should have a "Requires: krb5-libs >= 1.3.1-6". (Or at least "krb5-libs > 1.2.7-14".)
I'm sorry about the late reply. Basically, "don't do that". rpm automatic dependencies only notice so much, and determining the exact package version (which may depend on the distribution you use) is not worth the effort. If you need to import packages from different distributions, rebuild the source RPM. This should eliminate all similar issues.
> rpm automatic dependencies only notice so much, > and determining the exact package version ... is not worth the effort. Of course. But I thought that when I now had stumbled on this one, I could report it so you could note it in the package. To avoid that others were hit by THAT particular issue. It wouldn't have to be the exact minimum version. It could be a conservative approximation. Like the version included in the same release. It will never be perfect. But why not do it as good as possible, when the effort is minimal?
