From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-22 i686) makewhatis uses find internally but findutils (where find is) is not a prereq to this package, resulting on a broken dependency if findutils is uninstalled Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. su -l 2. rpm -ev find 3. makewhatis Actual Results: /usr/sbin/makewhatis: find: command not found /usr/sbin/makewhatis: find: command not found /usr/sbin/makewhatis: find: command not found /usr/sbin/makewhatis: find: command not found /usr/sbin/makewhatis: find: command not found /usr/sbin/makewhatis: find: command not found /usr/sbin/makewhatis: find: command not found /usr/sbin/makewhatis: find: command not found
We (Red Hat) should really fix this before next release
needed ERRATA from the original post. to reproduce : 1) su -l 2) rpm -ev findutils 3) makewhatis and when i mean there is a missing prereq, i mean adding to SPEC : Requires: findutils take into consideration than adding Prereq: findutils has not the same intended dependency
Fixed in 1.5h1-20
