Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 11683
require downlevel gtk--
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:37:55 EDT
The cdrdao rpm in the PowerTools 6.2 requires the the gtk-- version that ships with PowerTools 6.1 and balks at the 6.2 gtk--. Seems like cdrdao-1.1.3-1.i386.rpm should be happy to have gtk---1.0.3pre1-3.i386.rpm instead of requiring gtk---1.0.3pre1-2.i386.rpm. Was this an oversight or is there a legitimate need for the version requirement to be hard set to only that older gtk-- rpm?
It was definitely an oversight. When editing the "Requires:" line to read Requires: gtk-- >= 1.0.3 Are you able to rebuild it? Tim
Sorry it's taken me so long to get back on this. Today I've finally edited the requires line and had to scratch my head for a few minutes until I realised I didn't have the gtk devel packages installed. It does indeed rebuild. I haven't done any real testing or anything to make sure it works though...
OK. Just a heads up, the gtk-- package is going to be renamed to be gtkmm for the nehxt release. I am closing this bug as "won't fix", if you have any more problems with it reopen this bug. Tim
Furthermore, xcdrdao doesn't seem to be packaged in cdrdao-1.1.3-1.i386, although that is actually _the_ component which is supposed to require gtk--. (xcdrdao-1.1.4 [currently pre3] actually won't build at all without gtkmm >= 1.2.0. From then, find-requires will probably do.) Actually, that's a bug, because there _is_ an applink in that package. (No, xcdrdao isn't built in a separate package.)
