Description of problem: drbd has excessive dependencies. It makes it difficult to install if you do not want to have Xen. # repoquery -R drbd.x86_64 drbd-bash-completion = 8.3.11 drbd-heartbeat = 8.3.11 drbd-pacemaker = 8.3.11 drbd-udev = 8.3.11 drbd-utils = 8.3.11 drbd-xen = 8.3.11 Only one of drbd-heartbeat or drbd-pacemaker shall be required if at all (there are other packages that can be used for failover). drbd-xen, for sure, shall not be required. Here is what I got when trying to install drbd. # yum install drbd.x86_64 Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Setting up Install Process Package drbd-bash-completion-8.3.11-1.fc16.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package drbd-udev-8.3.11-1.fc16.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package drbd-utils-8.3.11-1.fc16.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package drbdlinks-1.20-1.fc16.noarch already installed and latest version Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package drbd.x86_64 0:8.3.11-1.fc16 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: drbd-xen = 8.3.11 for package: drbd-8.3.11-1.fc16.x86_64 --> Running transaction check ---> Package drbd-xen.x86_64 0:8.3.11-1.fc16 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: xen for package: drbd-xen-8.3.11-1.fc16.x86_64 --> Running transaction check ---> Package xen.x86_64 0:4.1.2-6.fc16 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: xen-runtime = 4.1.2-6.fc16 for package: xen-4.1.2-6.fc16.x86_64 --> Running transaction check ---> Package xen-runtime.x86_64 0:4.1.2-6.fc16 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: xen-hypervisor-abi = 4.1 for package: xen-runtime-4.1.2-6.fc16.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: /usr/bin/qemu-img for package: xen-runtime-4.1.2-6.fc16.x86_64 --> Running transaction check ---> Package qemu-img.x86_64 2:0.15.1-4.fc16 will be installed ---> Package xen-hypervisor.x86_64 0:4.1.2-6.fc16 will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved =============================================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size =============================================================================================================== Installing: drbd x86_64 8.3.11-1.fc16 fedora-local 25 k Installing for dependencies: drbd-xen x86_64 8.3.11-1.fc16 fedora-local 8.4 k qemu-img x86_64 2:0.15.1-4.fc16 updates-local 224 k xen x86_64 4.1.2-6.fc16 updates-local 1.0 M xen-hypervisor x86_64 4.1.2-6.fc16 updates-local 4.0 M xen-runtime x86_64 4.1.2-6.fc16 updates-local 5.4 M Transaction Summary =============================================================================================================== Install 6 Packages
New drbd package has much better dependencies. # repoquery -R drbd-8.3.11-4.fc16.x86_64 drbd-bash-completion = 8.3.11 drbd-udev = 8.3.11 drbd-utils = 8.3.11 It is not clear though why drbd-bash-completion is required. Or, if it is required, why it requires bash-completion. If you check. for example, subversion - it has /etc/bash_completion.d/subversion file but does not require bash-completion. # rpm -ql subversion-1.6.17-5.fc16.x86_64 | grep bash /etc/bash_completion.d /etc/bash_completion.d/subversion /usr/share/doc/subversion-1.6.17/tools/client-side/bash_completion_test # rpm -qR subversion-1.6.17-5.fc16.x86_64 | grep bash /bin/bash
Good catch, folks. This was left over from the previous maintainer and I haven't gone back to tidy things up. I'm working on this tonight.
