Description of problem: yum-2.0.4-3 does not depend on rpm-python and libxml2-python. That is, yum doesn't require rpm-python and libxml2-python to get installed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-2.0.4-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -e rpm-python 2. rpm -e libxml2-python 3. rpm -i yum-2.0.4-3.i386.rpm 4. yum check-update This will fail complaining that module "rpm" or module "libxml2" is missing. Actual results: yum-2.0.4-3 has missing dependencies. Expected results: yum-2.0.4-3 should depend on both rpm-python and libxml2-python. Additional info:
Triage->Easyfix
Dependencies on rpm are knd of pointless. libxml2-python might be useful, punted upstream.
ok Would red hat stop changing my specfile? :) from the yum 2.0.X specfile in cvs: Requires: python, rpm-python, rpm >= 0:4.1.1, libxml2-python so who made the change?
