From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Galeon/1.3.11a Description of problem: As of Jan 13, 2004, I cannot install the popt and rpm updates for the devel line of fedora. This is because net-snmp is saying it needs rpm-4.1.xxxx. Unless I completely misunderstand snmp and how it works, why does net-snmp depend on librpm*anything? It seems like a bogus dependency. If not, net-snmp needs to be rebuilt when librpm is. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): net-snmp-5.1-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install the new net-snmp 2. Try to install the new popt or rpm updates Actual Results: Failure on installing popt/rpm because net-snmp needs older versions. Expected Results: Installation should have gone fine. Additional info:
I have had many problems because of the conflicts. One program killing a whole system with the conflict due to rpmlib. I have submitted another bug similat to this problem. I hope the dep problem is corrected soon.
librpm is not a bogus dependency - you might want to take a look at the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB. You're able to query via SNMP what rpms have been installed: % snmpwalk -v 2c -c foo quux .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.6
correct. ^^ closing as not a bug. Read ya, Phil
