Recently packagers stared using rich deps in Fedora and I (as Mock maintainer) am hitting more issues like this: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/mock/issues/202 I.e. F28 package redhat-rpm-config has: Requires: (annobin if gcc) And when you try to install this by rpm from EL7 you get cryptic error:
---> Package redhat-rpm-config.noarch 0:108-1.fc28 will be installed Error: Invalid version flag: if For mock this can be workarounded by --bootstrapchroot (as long as noone use this for any package in minimal buildroot). I am think how to make the life of developers easier and turn this ugly message to something more friendly - Is there some way to query package what minimal version of RPM it need. Something like: # rpm -qp --whatversion foo.rpm 4.13.1 With the meaning that I need this version of rpm or higher.
