Description Rafal Luzynski 2018-08-30 12:45:42 UTC
Description of problem:

libpcap since version 1.9.0 lists %{_libdir}/pkgconfig/libpcap.pc as part of its main package rather than the -devel package. As a result its install or update pulls pkgconfig packages.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

1.9.0


How reproducible:

Always.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have an old installation of Fedora 28 or 27 (not updated).
2. as root: dnf update libpcap


Actual results:

Installing:

* libpkgconf-1.4.2-1.fc28.x86_64.rpm
* pkgconf-1.4.2-1.fc28.x86_64.rpm
* pkgconf-m4-1.4.2-1.fc28.noarch.rpm
* pkgconf-pkg-config-1.4.2-1.fc28.x86_64.rpm


Expected results:

Do not install these packages.


Additional info:

This bug has already been fixed in master (rawhide) and F29, just please backport the same change to F28 and F27.
