Description David Jaša 2016-12-05 12:50:22 UTC
Description of problem:
unlike Fedora with bluez-obexd in separate package, el7's blues-obexd is distributed in main package. The main package doesn't however Provide bluez-obexd:
# rpm -ql bluez | grep obex
/usr/lib/systemd/user/obex.service
/usr/libexec/bluetooth/obexd
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.bluez.obex.service
# dnf info bluez-obexd
Error: No matching Packages to list
[root@cihla ~]# dnf provides bluez-obexd
Error: No Matches found

so some packages depending on bluez's obexd require different dependencies than on Fedora with no "real" reason.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bluez-5.41-1.el7.x86_64

Hi,

Yes, the original thought was to not add the additional package and break
an end-users setup.

My concern is if I separate the package as you request, the customer
will do an 'yum update bluez' and lose the ability to do an 'obex'
file transfer unless they manually run 'yum install bluez-obexd'.
Not a good idea.

I can add a dependency on bluez to also install bluez-obexd, but
that would make things different from Fedora.  Though the Fedora
soultion isn't ideal as everyone complains about it.


So I am thinkig of splitting the package out and adding a dependency,
which should fix your problem?  Meanwhile I will have to figure out
the Fedora situation and perhaps backport that to RHEL.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Don

Ah, good suggestion.  I think so.  Should be easy to implement and test.

Do you have a particular package that has this explicit Requires that I can
verify with?

Cheers,
Don

rebuild of Fedora's gnome-user-share (which needs mod_dnssd), both rebuilt using mock (mock --rebuild mod_dnssd.src.rpm ; mock --clean ; mock -i mod_dnssd.rpm ; mock --no-clean --rebuild gnome-user-share.src.rpm)

Comment 7 Ken Benoit 2017-04-11 16:28:37 UTC
Tested on a system with RHEL-7.4-20170410.n.3 installed.

# yum provides bluez-obexd
Loaded plugins: product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use subscription-manager to register.
bluez-5.44-2.el7.x86_64 : Bluetooth utilities
Repo        : beaker-Workstation
Matched from:
Provides    : bluez-obexd

Marking as verified.
