Description of problem: --get-source Fetch the source package for the specified package without resolving dependencies [root@xen65 ~]# rm /var/spool/up2date/* -f [root@xen65 ~]# up2date --get-source xsane-gimp Fetching all package list for channel: rhel-i386-as-4... ######################################## Fetching package list for channel: rhel-i386-as-4... ######################################## xsane-0.92-13.src.rpm...

Concerns: 1. I get source package of xsane but *not* of xsane-gimp. Note that the right hdr was downloaded. 2. In man it says that it does not solve dependencies but it actually does (the xsane in spool). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.7.1-17.el4 + latest EUS 4.6.2-8 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. erase spool 2. install pkg which has dependency 3. see spool there's srpm pkg of dependency but not from the pkg intended to be got/downloaded. Actual results: xsane.rpm Expected results: xsane-gimp.rpm
Could anyone state on whether such behavior is right or not? It's not making me any sence :).
