Ok so we have a bunch of packages which require X, but X is already on
the system, albeit without a Provide. That sounds like an obvious
workaround of compiling
Name: rpmlib-missingdep
Version: suse10.1
Release: 1
BuildArchitectures: noarch
Provides: rpmlib(PatchRPMs) = 3.0.6-1
Summary: Provides missing dependency for SUSE 10.1 rpm 4.4.2-40
into a package and installing that.
# rpm -q --provides rpmlib-missingdep
rpmlib(PatchRPMs) = 3.0.6-1
rpmlib-missingdep = suse10.1-1
But it doesn't work:
# rpm -UvhF x86_64/fontconfig-2.3.94-18.4.x86_64.patch.rpm --test
error: Failed dependencies:
rpmlib(PatchRPMs) <= 3.0.6-1 is needed by fontconfig-2.3.94-18.4.x86_64
Exit 1
Nevertheless all hell breaks lose when trying to remove it:
# rpm -e rpmlib-missingdep
What's the trick here?
Thanks,
Volker
