I just installed an RPM package, then repackaged it and tried to
install the update with -Fvh. The update complained that the
package required pike in /usr/local/bin/pike, as a dependancy,
and it would NOT install because of it.
So, the existing -3 release installed worked ok, but my updated
package -4 would not install because of the pike dependancy.
Pike is installed in /usr/bin/pike.
I found out the problem was a missed 'configure' option in my RPM
.spec file, so I added "--with-pike=/usr/bin/pike" to the .spec
which I was told would fix the problem. I rebuilt the package,
and it succeeded. When I ran rpm -Fvh to update the package, it
failed with:
1 root@asdf:/usr/src/redhat/SPECS# rpm -Fvh
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/caudium-20000817-4.i386.rpm
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/caudium-modules-20000817-4.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
/usr/local/bin/pike is needed by caudium-20000817-4
I then immediately tried:
1 root@asdf:/usr/src/redhat/SPECS# rpm -e caudium caudium-modules
cannot remove /usr/lib/caudium/lib/7.0.71 - directory not empty
Then I tried installing again, and it failed with the
/usr/local/bin/pike thing again.
Checking the actual build, "configure" ends off saying:
Pike binary used: /usr/pike/7.0.71/bin/pike
Pike version: 7.0.71
Pike include dir: -I/usr/pike/7.0.71/include/pike
The above pike binary is the correct one, and there is a symlink
in /usr/bin/pike pointing to this binary. However, the package
refuses to install claiming the /usr/local/bin/pike dependancy.
Where do these dependancies come from? I installed the package
fine up until now without such problems... I haven't changed the
source code at all, so I don't see what is wrong. Uninstalling
the previous version seems to have an effect.. odd..
1 root@asdf:/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/caudium-20000817# dir /usr/bin/pike
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Aug 17 09:07 /usr/bin/pike
-> /usr/pike/7.0.71/bin/pike*
Any ideas?
