From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030314 Description of problem: When trying to update the rpm packages on RH7.3 using the rpm-4.0.5 packages there is an error because the dependency on python is not satisfied Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-python-4.0.5-0.1.7x How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download updated packages from ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/test-4.0.5 2. rpm -Fvh <packages> Actual Results: [root@vectra rpm]# rpm -Fvh *4.0.5*.7x.i386.rpm popt-1.6.5-0.1.7x.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: python >= 2.2 is needed by rpm-python-4.0.5-0.1.7x popt = 1.6.4 is needed by rpm-perl-4.0.4-7x.18 rpm = 4.0.4 is needed by rpm-perl-4.0.4-7x.18 Expected Results: The rpm-python pacakge should probably depend on "python2>=2.2" The rpm-perl packages is not supplied in the updates so I had to remove it - perhaps it should be supplied or obsoleted? [root@vectra rpm]# rpm -q python python-1.5.2-43.73 [root@vectra rpm]# rpm -q python2 python2-2.2.2-11.7.3 Additional info:
Actually, rpm-4.0.5 needs python 1.5, not python2. Fixed in rpm-4.0.5-1 errata, thanks for checking and reporting.
