Re: SPEC: How to specify package ARCH for REQUIRES?

[Christian Rohrmeier SCHERING DE]

Hi,

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by "trip your posts"...

Perhaps its best just to ignore Oracle and make this, once again, a very
generic discussion:

I need a way in which I can specify the architecture of a package in the
SPEC file REQUIRES attribute.

Your suggest solution, which was to specify libraries or specific files
that are in the the package that I wish to depend upon, instead of
specifiying the name of the package, has serious problems, because possibly
some other package that I don't want to install happens to contain the
library or file that I specified in the SPEC (as I demonstrated
previously.)

I literally need to install libstdc++, and specifically the x86_64 version!

Thanks,

Christian

use rpm --provides libstdc++-3.2.3-52.x86_64 to figure out the provides,
rpm automagically does this for elf based deps on shared libraries, as
you're writing a virtual package you have the pain.

Check your provides against your requires.  Although it's quite possible
oracle requires the compat libs - obviously using a depsolver will pull
in the correct packages so this doesn't look like an issue to me,
assuming you have the correct Requires: lines.
