Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.download xstream src from http://www.jpackage.org/browser/rpm.php?jppversion=1.7&id=7176 2.install java 1.5.0 gcj 3.try to rebuild xstream src rpm. Actual results: [root@nitai ~]# rpmbuild --rebuild xstream-1.2.2-1.1jpp.src.rpm Installing xstream-1.2.2-1.1jpp.src.rpm error: Failed build dependencies: gnu-crypto is needed by xstream-1.2.2-1.1jpp.i386 [root@nitai ~]# yum install gnu-crypto Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Package java-1.5.0-gcj - 1.5.0.0-17.fc8.i386 already installed and latest version Nothing to do Expected results: either rpm build would actually try to build the package or yum would actually try to download the dependency. currently they does neither. Additional info: The source rpm above is not the original jpackage src rpm, (it was slightly modified for different reasons). The actual src rpm is attached bellow. One last thing - I'm not blond.

I don't know what java-1.5.0-gcj has to do with this. but a couple of items: 1. the xstream srpm from jpackage does not require gnu-crypto 2. nothing in fedora 8 provides gnu-crypto so I don't know where you're hoping this dependency will come from. If you have more info please add it and reopen -as it is this is NOTABUG
Hi, Thanks for the swift answer. 1. xstream from Jpackage 1.6 doesn't require gnu-crypto, but we are using Jpackage 1.7 which does require gnu-crypto (check the attached source rpm or url above). 2. Indeed what you say seems to look right, but, apparently yum thinks otherwise, at least as far as I understand from the following output: # yum install gnu-crypto Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Package java-1.5.0-gcj - 1.5.0.0-17.fc8.i386 already installed and latest version Nothing to do This is being run when the jpackage repository is enabled on the Fedora 8 machine (using the repo file downloaded from http://www.jpacakge.org/jpackage17.repo ), and what I would expect to happen instead of the above output is that yum would actually download gnu-crypto from jpackage and install it. Yum does know that a package called gnu-crypto is available because it says so when asked: # yum list gnu-crypto Available Packages gnu-crypto.noarch 2.1.0-2jpp jpackage-generic The bug summary may be incorrect, but there is definitely a problem as you can see. thanks again!
Querying xstream from the above jpackage-generic repo ... does not have a requires on gnu-crypto. Also the jpacakge-fc (for Fedora 8) repo doesn't seem to exist. Can you please simply describe what do you think the "problem" is? Yum can only find what you've told it about, if you haven't told it about a repo. with gnu-crypto in it ... it won't be able to find it. If you are using a repo. that has X that deps. on Y, but Y can't be found ... this isn't a yum problem, but a repo. problem.
I'm trying to build an XStream package on Fedora 8, based on the JPackage 1.7 source RPM (we need an XStream installation with annotations enabled, and it is disabled by default on JPackage, hence the need for the rebuild). The process is very simple and it works like this: 1. go to jpackage.org, get the jpackage.repo file and install it into Fedora 8 so that yum can resolve package dependencies using the repository "jpackage-generic" (you'd notice that "jpackage-fc" and all other repositories in the repo file are disabled by default - we do not change that). 2. use the JPackage 1.7 repository browser site (either JPackage's original or repoview) to locate the xstream 1.2.2 source RPM (http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/jpackage/1.7/generic/free/SRPMS/xstream-1.2.2-1jpp.src.rpm). Do note that this is the source RPM that I'm using and not the binary (noarch) RPM. The binary RPM indeed does not depend on gnu-crypto - it is a build requirement and not a runtime requirement. 3. try to build the package: # rpm --rebuild xstream-1.2.2-1jpp.src.rpm 4. We get a list of build requirements that are unfulfilled on the current Fedora 8 installation. 5. We try to use yum to install the required packages: # yum install gnu-crypto java-gcj-compat-devel jpackage-utils ant bea-stax bea-stax-api cglib dom4j jakarta-commons-lang jakarta-oro jdom jettison jmock joda-time junit wstx xom xpp3 Problem: yum successfully downloads and install all the above packages, except gnu-crypto. no errors are reported, but rpmbuild still can't complete the build - complaining about a missing gnu-crypto dependency When we try to run # yum install gnu-crypto to force yum to install just the missing gnu-crypto package (which is available in the jpackage-generic repository which we enabled in step 1 above), it outputs the text as in comment #3 , finishing with "nothing to do", although gnu-crypto is not installed, no other package in the system provides a "gnu-crypto" capability (including java-1.5.0-gcj that yum mentions), and a real gnu-crypto.noarch pacakge is available. The only way to get xstream to compile and build (or any other package that depends on gnu-crypto, this is not an xstream specific problem) is to manually download the gnu-crypto noarch RPM and install it manually using "rpm -i". Even trying to get yum to "localinstall" the gnu-crypto package we downloaded fails: # yum localinstall gnu-crypto-2.1.0-2jpp.noarch.rpm Setting up Local Package Process Examining gnu-crypto-2.1.0-2jpp.noarch.rpm: gnu-crypto - 2.1.0-2jpp.noarch Marking gnu-crypto-2.1.0-2jpp.noarch.rpm to be installed Package java-1.5.0-gcj - 1.5.0.0-17.fc8.i386 already installed and latest version Nothing to do I don't know what the problem is, but there is a problem and I hope this describes my thoughts...
Ok, I see the problem now: java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0-17.fc8 obsoletes gnu-crypto <= 2.1.0-2jpp.1 ...so yum is doing what the packages in Fedora told it to.
