From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.4.2) Gecko/20040308 Description of problem: At line 22 of the specfile: %if %{WITH_PAM} Requires: pam %endif Should be: %if %{WITH_PAM} BuildRequires: pam-devel %endif Otherwise there won't be a clue that pam-devel is needed for compiling. rpm will pick up the Requires: pam as it builds the package even without it being explicitly said. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vixie-cron-4.1-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -e --nodeps pam-devel 2. rpmbuild -bb vixie-cron.spec Actual Results: compile failed Expected Results: message saying where the rpm was saved. Additional info:
Actually, it was 'Requires: pam-devel' until I got a letter complaining that devel packages should not be required on production systems. Obviously, it should have been: ' Requires: pam BuildRequires: pam-devel ' and shall be so henceforth ( vixie-cron-4.1-5 + )
