I have an rpm I've created that has a dependency on a library provided by a third party. This dependency is not specified anywhere in my spec file yet the package seems to know about when I run: # rpm -qip --requires MyPackage.rpm The third party rpm is installed and uninstalled via a vendor-supplied script so that they can prompt you to accept licenses and so on. Problem is, the vendor supplied un-install script fails to un-install because of the dependency MyPackage has on one of it's libraries. Is there a way to build my package so that it has no knowledge of external dependencies? My other option is to alter the vendor supplied uninstall script so that it does rpm -e --nodeps. I'd very much prefer to not mess with the vendor supplied scripts. I guess as a related question, how does my rpm know about external dependencies? Is rpmbuild doing some analysis of it's content via ldd or something? -Mark -- Mark Belanger LTX Corporation
