Hello,
I create a RPM package containing this file :
/etc/mtab -> /proc/mounts
In fact this is a symlink to '/proc/mounts'.
So when I want to install this RPM package, there is a dependency :
# rpm -i fhstree-20090529-1.i686.rpm
rpmdb: Build signature doesn't match environment
error: Failed dependencies:
/proc/mounts is needed by fhstree-20090529-1.i686
A working solution, for the end-user, is adding the '--nodeps' option :
# rpm -i --nodeps fhstree-20090529-1.i686.rpm
error: failed to open /etc/mtab: No such file or directory
I can't create an other package providing '/proc/mounts' file because this file
exists only when mounting the '/proc' special partition.
So, I would like to create my RPM package containing this symlink but remove
the dependencies concerning symlinks.
I found this for my spec file :
AutoReqProv: no
But it doesn't solve my problem (I think 'AutoReqProv: no' just remove the
automatic dependencies watching for executable scripts '#!' and binary files
dynamic dependencies).
Is there a way to remove this dependency when building my RPM package?
Thank you.
