Red Hat Product Errata RHEA-2012:0227 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE mysql-connector-odbc bug fix update 2012-02-20 15:07:53 UTC

Description Tom Lane 2011-10-05 19:19:03 UTC 
Description of problem:
mysql-connector-odbc.spec contains "Requires: unixODBC".  This is unnecessary, as the auto-generated dependency on the unixODBC shared library is sufficient.  What's more, it's wrong with the planned split of unixODBC into base and library packages.  Unless we remove that, it'll be impossible to install mysql-connector-odbc concurrently with unixODBC64.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.26r1127-1.el5

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Examine package's requires list.
  
Actual results:
Includes "unixODBC" explictly.

Expected results:
Should not, there should only be dependencies on shared libraries provided by unixODBC.
