rpm build scripts use the binary file as dependency rather than the package
name where the binary is in

Key: CORE-3803
URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-3803
Project: Firebird Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Installation
Affects Versions: 2.5.1
Environment: RHEL 6 / CentOS 6
Reporter: Eberhard Leba
Installing FirebirdCS-2.5.1.26351-0.amd64.rpm on a cleanly installed RHEL6 or
RHEL6.1 RPM complains about missing components:
# rpm -ivh FirebirdSS-2.5.0.26074-0.amd64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libncurses.so.5 is needed by FirebirdSS-2.5.0.26074-0.amd64
libstdc++.so.6 is needed by FirebirdSS-2.5.0.26074-0.amd64
The libraries are available on that system:
$ ls -l /usr/lib64/libncurses.so
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 27 16. Sep 2011 /usr/lib64/libncurses.so ->
../../lib64/libncurses.so.5
$ ls -l /lib64/libncurses.so.5
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 17 16. Sep 2011 /lib64/libncurses.so.5 ->
libncurses.so.5.7
$ ls -l /lib64/libncurses.so.5.7
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 142504 3. Dez 2009 /lib64/libncurses.so.5.7
$ ls -l /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 19 16. Sep 2011 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 ->
libstdc++.so.6.0.13
ls -l /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.13
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 989840 15. Feb 2011 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.13
The RPM packages containing those libraries do have a different name:
$ rpm -qf /lib64/libncurses.so.5
ncurses-libs-5.7-3.20090208.el6.x86_64
]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6
libstdc++-4.4.5-6.el6.x86_64
The workaround for this is to install firebird using the --nodeps flag. This
might not be acceptable for administrators responsible for huge system
environments.
