From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030308 Description of problem: The RPM test-4.1.1 packages fail to properly install onto a Red Hat 8.0 system due to a dependency (version) problem involving redhat-rpm-config-8.0-1. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Method A: 1. Set up Red Hat 8.0 system 2. Try to install the test-4.1.1 RPM packages from the command line (e.g., rpm -Fvh *8x.i386.rpm) Method B: 1. Set up a Red Hat 8.0 system 2. Set up a server (e.g., Current) for up2date, with all errata 3. Update the RH 8.0 system from the server (apply all errata). 4. Add the test-4.1.1 packages to the server 5. Attempt to update the 8.0 client again. Actual Results: from up2date: Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies... There was a package dependency problem. The message was: Unresolvable chain of dependencies: redhat-rpm-config-8.0-1 requires rpmbuild(VendorConfig) <= 4.1 from command line: error: Failed dependencies: rpmbuild(VendorConfig) <= 4.1 is needed by (installed) redhat-rpm-config-8.0-1 Expected Results: Successful installation of new RPM test packages, and resolution of RPM freeze/hang problems. Additional info: I don't knoe if this is the fault of the new RPM packages or the old redhat-rpm-config package. Also, I'm not sure whether to file this against 8.0 or rawhide. Feel free to change the component or version if I blew this.
Ah yes, another place where 4.1 needs to be hard wired. The dependency in the rpm-build package was Provides: rpmbuild(VendorConfig) = %{version} Fixed in CVS, will be in both rpm-4.2 and rpm-4.1.1 final. Thanks for the report.
