>Summary: update-rpms doesn't detect versions on non-RPM perl modules
Initial Comment:
update-rpms doesn't fully resolve dependencies.
I think this comes from the fact that update-rpms doesn't
handle the arguments "requirement >= NNN" correctly.
It works fine with "requirement = NNN".
Example:
systemimager-server requires perl(XML::Simple) >= 2.08
Checking whether perl-XML-Simple is in the repository and
the cache:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] prereqs]# update-rpms --quiet --check
perl-XML-Simple
OK
perl-XML-Simple /tftpboot/rpm/perl-XML-Simple-2.14-2.1.el3.rf.noarch.rpm
-ihv
Check which packages get installed with
systemimager-server:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] test42]# update-rpms --check
systemimager-server-3.5.3-1
==> /usr/bin/update-rpms '--check'
'systemimager-server-3.5.3-1'

Sorry to reopen this but I still don't understand one thing:
systemimager-server requires
perl(XML::Simple) >= 2.0.8
The XML::Simple module installed somehow (CPAN?) had
version 1.0.8, so the requirement of systemimager-server
was not satisfied!
The following snipped of code detects the version of the
found module:
$module=XML::Simple;
eval "{ require $module; }";
if ($@) {
print "$module is not installed\n";
exit;
}
eval "\ = \$".$module."::VERSION";
print "$version\n";
Maybe you want to extend update-rpms to detect the version
of a non-rpm perl module and warn if the version is too old.
Simply installing the RPM to satisfy the dependency is
dangerous, too, because this leads to 2 versions remaining
installed and eventually conflicting with each other. This can
be seen in the bug #1264011 (si_monitork fails).

Well, I found the reason for the trouble. Even though there
was no perl-XML-Simple rpm installed, update-rpms was
claiming that perl(XML::Simple) is already installed.
Unfortunately when checking for perl:XML::Simple with
update-rpms, it was suggesting to install the
perl-XML-Simple package, so that check was not detecting
it.
slocate finally revealed that there was a XML/Simple.pm
file hidden somewhere in my tree which wasn't belonging to
any rpm. It was a different location from the one of the
OSCAR perl-XML-Simple package. As I never install CPAN
packages directly (couldn't tell you how that works without
looking it up), therefore I suspect this might have been a
broken RPM build which must have happenend long ago.
I'm sorry to have bothered with a problem which only
existed on my machine, also sorry for having suspected
update-rpms.

Please run the following under script:
update-rpms -vvv --cachedir=. --check systemimager-server
update-rpms -vvv --cachedir=. --check systeminstaller
Then, either attach the typescript file or email it to me...
I want to see what is satisfying the requirements.

Actually the first log was already showing that what worked for
you doesn't work for me (update-rpms --check
systemimager-server). But here is another attempt with exactly
the syntax you used (I only added --cachedir=. to all the
queries).

Erich,
Please demonstrate an error. I showed the specific example
you claim to have failed as working.

I am not trying to prove anything, I just reported a bug. From
your output I see that my diagnosis was wrong. No, XML::Simple
wasn't installed from CPAN, I never do that on test systems.
The bug still remains, and my new highly speculative diagnosis is
that this must be related to bug #1263911 (perl-XML-Simple
recognition wrong on rhel3).

I don't understand what you proved above. You didn't check
to see if XML::Simple was already installed, e.g., by CPAN
module...
At any rate, it's clearly working with the rhel3 libs from
current trunk. FWIW, the requirement form "package >=
value" is so common, I doubt I could pass any of my unit
testing with such an error.
