Description Andreas Gruenbacher 2006-03-12 17:56:22 UTC

http://svn.suse.de/trac/zypp/wiki/Dependencies summarizes the possible dependencies between packages. Createrepo fails to include some of them in the metadata, so whoever is using the repository cannot resolve some kinds of dependencies properly anymore.

RPM itself currently can't dump the Recommends, Supplements, Suggests, and Enhances tags from the command line, either (bug 155301). You can use ~mls/rpmdumpreq to that end for now. (Also see bug 157493.)

Freshens and Essentialfor don't seem to exist for rpm packages; they probably are for patches only.

Comment 6 Andreas Gruenbacher 2006-03-12 18:02:59 UTC

Consequently, libzypp does not see those dependencies in yum (createrepo) repositories, and cannot resolve them.

Fake repodata with missing tags

Here is a spec file and rpm that has the tags, together with how the meta-data should look. The metadata were created by hand-editing, and so unfortunately the checksums are bogus.

Comment 10 Duncan Mac-Vicar 2006-03-13 17:11:18 UTC

It was a problem with the repositories not containing the tags (because they were not extracted). Andreas fixed the createrepo script. libzypp works with it without changes.
