Description Hezekiah M. Carty 2007-05-10 02:01:19 UTC 
Description of problem:
The hdf-devel package (the HDF4 library) is uninstallable due to requiring
netcdf-devel, but this package is not available in the main repository or EPEL.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.2r1-12.el5

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to install hdf-devel (yum install hdf-devel)

Actual results:
It doesn't work (netcdf-devel missing)

Expected results:
netcdf-devel should be available in EPEL.

I'd be happy to provide whatever assistance is needed.
Comment 1 Patrice Dumas 2007-05-10 06:56:27 UTC 
In my opinion hdf-devel should not require netcdf-devel, there is
no reason for that.

Otherwise it is clear that netcdf needs to be in EPEL, for it
is useful and upstream takes care of binary compatibility
Comment 2 Hezekiah M. Carty 2007-05-10 13:35:17 UTC 
There is a bug about this  (#189337) and I'm not sure of the reasoning behind
adding this requirement.  As far as I know this requirement isn't in place
upstream or in Debian which is what I was using previously.
Comment 3 Patrice Dumas 2007-05-15 21:25:28 UTC 
Orion fixed that issue by removing the BR.
