Description of problem:

net-snmp requires net-snmp-libs to work, but the SPEC file doesn't have the
below requirement specification in it to enforce it.

Requires: %{name}-libs = %{version}-%{release}

The end result is that, if a customer runs "up2date net-snmp", it would update
the net-snmp package to the latest version without updating the net-snmp-libs
package to the latest version which would cause snmp service to fail.

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:

- Take an RHEL4 system.
- Do "rpm -e snmp snmp-libs --nodeps"
- Download the net-snmp and net-snmp-libs packages from
http://porkchop.redhat.com/brewroot/packages/net-snmp/5.1.2/11.el4_6 .11.1/ and
install it using "rpm -ivh net-snmp*" command.
- Make sure that snmpd starts successfully.
- Run "up2date net-snmp". It would only update net-snmp without updating
net-snmp-libs
- Restart snmpd service. It should show "OK", but the service would actually
fail to start.

Actual results:

- net-snmp does not require net-snmp-libs-{version}-{release}

Expected results:

It should be dependent on net-snmp-libs

Additional info:

Attaching patch for RHEL4 and RHEL5 which can be applied for the SPEC file.

One reference - https://bugzilla. redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=139740

Bugzilla filed for RHEL4 and fixed in rawhide. I would request to open separate
bugzillas for RHEL4 and RHEL5. Let me know if you want me to clone this IT for
RHEL5.
