Description Stepan Kasal 2008-06-23 06:25:27 EDT

Description of problem:
$ rpmbuild --rmsource --rmspec SPECS/hal.spec
error: Failed build dependencies:
        dbus-devel = 0.22 is needed by hal-0.4.2-8.EL4.x86_64

I just wanted to remove the files brought in by an unfortunate rpm -i hal*.src.rpm
Neither --rmsource nor --rmspec should check the BuildRequires.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-4.4.2.3-2.fc9

mcepl is also annoyed by this bug^H^H^Hfeature.

Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2008-06-24 13:51:15 EDT

Attaching a --nodeps transparently to --rmsoure is no harder than

    echo "rpmbuild alias --rmsource --rmsource --nodeps" >> ~/.popt

But feel free to be annoyed if you're too lazy to configure the tools that you use. That works too.

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2008-11-25 21:27:36 EST

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

Comment 3 Jindrich Novy 2009-01-11 10:59:55 EST

Indeed, checking for build dependencies only when removal of sources/spec is needed is a pure nonsence.

It is now fixed upstream.
