From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install libtiff 2. Try and install cups-libs 3. Cups libs requires libtiff.so.3 4. trying to determine which package provides i ran across a missing provides listing. Actual Results: cup-libs says it needs libtiff.so.3 [djpowell@Hydrometer djpowell]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3 file /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3 is not owned by any package [djpowell@Hydrometer djpowell]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3.5 libtiff-3.5.7-6 Expected Results: [djpowell@Hydrometer djpowell]$ rpm - qf /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3.5 libtiff-3.5.7-6 libtiff.so.3 should resolve to the same package. Additional info: I dont know that this really affects the installation but i was trying to find what provided libtiff so i could install it on another system in order to get samba installed , samba requires libcups which requires libtiff. Libtiff was on another machine and i ran rpm -qf /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3 ... results as above. Should the provides list this file? even though libtiff.so.3 is a symlink.. it still seems as a normal file to the system and binareis linked against it.
It may not be the depends per se, but rather that the RPM does not claim all the files.
I'll have to check the specfile and the depends stuff in there, maybe something is wrong. Read ya, Phil
