Description of problem: event-compat-sysv.spec currently contains this: Obsoletes: sysvinit Provides: SysVinit >= 2.83 Provides: sysvinit >= 2.83 A "Provides" with a >= is a bit odd, but seems to work in rawhide. Nevertheless it is nearly just as bad as a unversioned provides and could lead to trouble if we ever want to put a SysVinit package back into the repo. That alone is likely reason enough to fix this. But the odd provides also creates problem for older yum/rpm versions, that are indirectly used together with the rawhide repo if you use mock on older Fedora or RHEL releases. IOW: the users runs into this problem: [...] Error: Missing Dependency: SysVinit >= 2.85-38 is needed by package initscripts [...] I ran into this myself and saw a report in #fedora-devel today from another user that faced the same problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): event-compat-sysv-0:0.3.9-9.fc9.noarch Additional informations: The Obsoletes in unversioned as well, which could lead to trouble should we want to put a sysvinit package into the repo again. Proposed solution: --- Obsoletes: SysVinit <= 2.86-23 Provides: SysVinit = 2.86 Provides: sysvinit = 2.86 ---
(In reply to comment #0) > Obsoletes: SysVinit <= 2.86-23 > Provides: SysVinit = 2.86 > Provides: sysvinit = 2.86 That would probably make the package self-obsoleting. I'd suggest this instead: Obsoletes: SysVinit < 2.86-24, sysvinit < 2.86-24 Provides: SysVinit = 2.86-24, sysvinit = 2.86-24
+1 to comment #1 I'm seeing this on my rhel5/mock builders trying to create f9 buildroots.
(In reply to comment #1) > That would probably make the package self-obsoleting. Ohh, yeah, you're right. Sorry for the thinko.
I'll push this tonight.
Fixed in event-compat-sysv-0.3.9-10
