https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2008-December/msg00426.html (originally bug 476275 and closed duplicate of bug 223642) $ rpm -qR glibc-devel|grep ^glib glibc = 2.9-2 glibc-headers = 2.9-2 So, glibc-devel requires glibc-headers. $ rpm -q --provides glibc-headers glibc-headers(i386) glibc-headers = 2.9-2 glibc-headers(x86-32) = 2.9-2 $ rpm -q --whatprovides glibc-headers glibc-headers-2.9-2.i386 $ sudo rpm -e glibc-headers Uh? That should not have been possible, because now: $ rpm -V glibc-devel Unsatisfied dependencies for glibc-devel-2.9-2.i386: glibc-headers = 2.9-2 is needed by glibc-devel-2.9-2.i386 As Seth's message adds, it's "Requires(pre)" for this dependency on glibc-headers. That's true according to the glibc.spec file. Bug 223642 explains the RPM semantics and the suggested fix: "Requires: glibc-headers" in glibc-devel would need to be added to fix this.
Fixed in 2.10.90-1.
