Last modified: 2014-09-22 07:18:07 EDT
Description of problem: When trying to install acroread from RHEL5.5-Client-Supplementary-20100120.1 on RHEL5.5-Client-20100117.0, dependency problem occures. This package however exists in Workstation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL5.5-Client-20100117.0 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RHEL5.5-Client-20100117.0 without Workstation 2. Add RHEL5.5-Client-Supplementary-20100120.1 to repositories 3. Install acroread Actual results: ... --> Finished Dependency Resolution acroread-9.3-1.el5.i386 from Suppl has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: openldap-devel is needed by package acroread-9.3-1.el5.i386 (Suppl) Error: Missing Dependency: openldap-devel is needed by package acroread-9.3-1.el5.i386 (Suppl) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: package-cleanup --problems package-cleanup --dupes rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest Expected results: Acroread should be installed Additional info:
All devel packages go to Workstation by default. Any idea why acroread needs a *devel* package?
qa_ack+, acroread requires openldap-devel which is in Workstation. Desktop only subscriptions will not be able to install acroread. Either move openldap-devel to Client/ or remove the dependency.
CC'ing openldap maintainer Jan, any idea why this library is in openldap-devel subpackage? Does it make sense to move it to a different subpackage or make a new libldap subpackage?
Isn't pretty standard to have versioned shared libraries in base package (openldap in this case) and unversioned symlinks in -devel?
FYI, Adobe should be releasing new Reader version next week, fixing security issue(s) in embedded Flash Player: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-07.html This may be a good opportunity to fix this, if we already have a proper fix.
