Description of problem: The buildrequires for lam in spec file seems to be incorrect. The build should fail for RHEL3/4 but it does not. The package lam has a epoch 2 which is the reason the buildrequires test fails. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. download blacs*.src.rpm on a RHEL3/4 machine 2. try to do a rpmbuild 3. Actual results: rpmbuild does not fail even though the version of lam on these systems is less than required # rpm -q lam lam-7.0.6-5 Expected results: rpmbuild should fail with: [root@localhost SPECS]# rpmbuild -bp blacs.spec error: Failed build dependencies: lam >= 2:7.1.1-5 is needed by blacs-1.1-18.i386 Additional info:
forgot to mention, the buildrequires should include epoch lam >= 2:7.1.1-5
Resolved in blacs 1.1-20.
