Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 429548
rpm doesn't depend on rpm-libs even links against it

Description of problem: In centos4, rhel5: tuju[0] rpm -q --requires rpm | grep librpmio librpmio-4.3.so()(64bit) tuju[0] rpm -q --whatprovides librpmio no package provides librpmio tuju[1] rpm -qf /usr/lib64/librpmio-4.3.so rpm-libs-4.3.3-23_nonptl tuju[0] ldd `which rpm`|grep rpmio librpmio-4.3.so => /usr/lib64/librpmio-4.3.so (0x000000344a900000) So I guess rpm's deps are broken on these releases? This is not the case in Fedora 8. $ rpm -q --whatrequires "librpmio-4.4.so()(64bit)" rpm-4.4.2.2-7.fc8 rpm-libs-4.4.2.2-7.fc8 rpm-python-4.4.2.2-7.fc8 Not really nasty unless you update with yum step by step and miss that both got updated at the same time,but you only pull rpm. Most likely it would work, but anyway, I think this shouldn't be like this.
Actually it looks like the postgresql and postgresql-libs suffer this same. $ ldd `which psql ` libpq.so.3 => /usr/lib64/libpq.so.3 (0x000000319b300000) $ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libpq.so.3 postgresql-libs-7.4.17-1.RHEL4.1
> tuju[0] rpm -q --requires rpm | grep librpmio > librpmio-4.3.so()(64bit) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > tuju[0] rpm -q --whatprovides librpmio > no package provides librpmio Yup, no package provides "librpmio", you need to ask for the exact soname dependency, ie rpm -q --whatprovides "librpmio-4.3.so()(64bit)" This is what you're doing in the Fedora case, only the other way around (via requires), hence the difference. [pmatilai@localhost ~]$ rpm -q --requires rpm | grep librpmio librpmio-4.3.so [pmatilai@localhost ~]$ rpm -q --whatrequires librpmio-4.3.so rpm-libs-4.3.3-23_nonptl rpm-build-4.3.3-23_nonptl rpm-4.3.3-23_nonptl rpm-python-4.3.3-23_nonptl No bug or broken dependencies here...
Yep, you're right. Anyway, I came across this when updating: # yum update rpm and it didn't pull the rpm-libs on centos4. Perhaps that yum version didn't calculate the deps right there.
