The topic can surprise you, but here the reason of this question.
Rpm has internal dependencies (you can see it in rpm --showrc), and
some of
this dependencies are set into rpm archive (Requirement in header).
I hope all on this list know that.
So now imagine I want to update my powerfull distro from version A
to B. The
dedicated installer tools (urpmi/yum/whatever) will fetch index.
But the
tools will be unable to detect one of rpm coming in B need first
last rpm
because an internal dependencies.
So, wouldn't be better for rpm packages of rpm to have it providing
it's
rpmlib dependencies ?
Specific details please.
Simple example:
I have rpm 4.0.4, glibc-X, update to rpm 4.4.8, glibc-Y with a %post in lua.
urpmi glibc-Y will fetch it, an miserably fail because rpmlibdep(lua ...) will
be missing.
With rpmlibdep: solving also this dep, dep is rpm in 4.4.8, fetching rpm,
glibc, installing.
But then rpm package should provide it's rpmlib internal deps, and then this
deps will push into index.
