Description Michael Schwendt 2005-03-29 17:03:07 EST

Package pygtk2-devel contains a pkgconfig template file, which lists
other pkgconfig files as requirements. When these files are included
in other RPM packages, the RPM package "Requires" must be complete.
Else pkgconfig fails, prints an error message and returns an error
code for standard queries like "pkg-config --exists foo-1.0",
"pkg-config --cflags foo-1.0" or "pkg-config --list-all".

pygtk2-devel-2.6.0-2.i386.rpm

missing dependencies due to pkgconfig files:

Requires: glib2-devel

Comment 1 Michael Schwendt 2005-04-12 20:28:22 EDT

Created attachment 113072 [details]
patch against CVS

Comment 2 Matthew Barnes 2006-09-23 21:41:46 EDT

Thanks for the patch.  It look like this has since been fixed.  The latest
Rawhide release lists glib2-devel as a BuildRequires.  Closing this bug.

pygtk2-2.10.1-4.fc6

Comment 3 Michael Schwendt 2006-09-24 05:36:37 EDT

You are mistaken. BuildRequires glib2-devel would _not_ fix this,
since I do not refer to a problem at build-time, but to a problem
at run-time. I even provided a *patch* in comment 1!

But I've verified that

  pygtk2-devel-2.10.1-3.fc6

does not depend on glib2-devel anymore. Now it depends on pygobject2-devel
and in turn the breakage has relocated to pygobject2-devel.

$ cd /usr/lib/pkgconfig
$ grep Req pygtk-2.0.pc 
Requires: pygobject-2.0
$ grep Req pygobject-2.0.pc 
Requires: gobject-2.0
$ grep Req gobject-2.0.pc
grep: gobject-2.0.pc: No such file or directory

==> missing "Requires: glib2-devel" in package "pygobject2-devel"!

$ rpm -qR pygobject2-devel
pkgconfig  
pygobject2 = 2.12.1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1

Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2006-09-25 09:05:33 EDT

The only way to avoid this kind of problem reliable is to make rpm pick up
dependencies from .pc files. Anything else is just bandaids.

Comment 5 Matthew Barnes 2006-10-29 21:30:48 EST

The pygobject2-devel package in Fedora Core 6 now requires glib2-devel (band-aid
though it may be), so I'm closing this bug.  Please feel free to reopen it if
you feel the problem has still not been addressed.
