Re: [CentOS] Is there a way to _remove_ dependencies from an RPM built from source?

Have you tried to make a fake src.rpm package that "provides" this 'libfoo' and

Normally, I leave the building straightforward.

Of course, I can also climb to the roof, use the fire exit, arrive at the backyard and find my way out somehow from there.

 Another way is to just force the install, but, doing it you will have some problems

during updates.

Of course, I just do that. Since years, and there are no problems with updates.

Only with EL6 and the automatic 'yum ckeck' I'm getting pissed somehow:

** Found 11 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:

libcilkrts.so.5()(64bit), libifcoremt.so.5()(64bit), ...

I know that already!

So I was humbly asking for some trick here.

There must be some, even if Google didn't find me one.
