Description tanner 2002-10-15 04:46:53 UTC

$ rpm -q rpm
rpm-4.0.4-7x.18

Custom .spec file which requires a specific kernel be installed, snippet below:

Release: 11.realtime
Distribution: Red Hat Linux 7.3 / i386
BuildRequires: kernel >= 2.4.18.realtime.8
Serial: 4
Requires: rte-firewall

The box I attempted to build this package on does -not- have
kernel-2.4.18.realtime.8 or greater installed as listed below:

[tanner@linux firewalls]$ rpm -qa | grep kerne
kernel-2.4.18-realtime.7
kernel-2.4.18-realtime.6
kernel-source-2.4.18-realtime.7
kernel-2.4.18-realtime.7

Yet, RPM merrily compiles the package:

[tanner@linux firewalls]$ rpm -bc freeswan.spec
Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.28146
+ umask 022
+ cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD
+ cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD
+ rm -rf freeswan-1.98b
+ /bin/gzip -dc /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/freeswan-1.98b.tar.gz
+ tar -xf -

Make a small change to the .spec file, changing kernel to kernel-source, snippet
follows:

Release: 11.realtime
Distribution: Red Hat Linux 7.3 / i386
BuildRequires: kernel-source >= 2.4.18.realtime.8
Serial: 4
Requires: rte-firewall

[tanner@linux firewalls]$ rpm -bc freeswan.spec
error: failed build dependencies:
   kernel-source >= 2.4.18-realtime.8 is needed by freeswan-1.98b-11.realtime

It would appear the rpm-4.0.4-7x.18 does not honor the BuildRequires flag all
the time.

Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2002-10-15 12:20:43 UTC

What does
	rpm -q --whatprovides kernel
say?

Comment 2 tanner 2002-10-16 02:49:35 UTC

$ rpm -q --whatprovides kernel
kernel-2.4.18-realtime.6
kernel-2.4.18-realtime.6
kernel-2.4.18-realtime.7
kernel-2.4.18-realtime.7
kernel-2.4.18-realtime.7
kernel-2.4.18-realtime.7

Comment 3 Jeff Johnson 2002-10-16 03:13:00 UTC

OK, I was looking for a
	Provides: kernel
from a kernel-smp package, that would have explained.

So what does "rpmbuild -bc -vv ..." say? The
location where the dependency is satisfied looks like

D:  Requires: kernel                                        YES (db provides)

Comment 5 Jeff Johnson 2002-10-16 14:17:13 UTC

OK, the problem has to do with a missing release. The
	Provides: kernel = 2.4.18
in the match provides all releases of the kernel, which matches
your BuildRequires:.

You'll need to write your dependency differently, say as
	BuildRequires: /lib/modules/2.4.18.realtime.8
