Re: automatic dependencies and relocatabel package

[Andrei Kazarov <Andrei Kazarov cern ch>]

Thanks Mats!
I've simply added  "Provides: /bin/sh" to my package.

In fact I would be happy to have required version of bash installed in 
my private RPM area, but relocatable bash RPM requires non-relocatable 
glibc and others, so I gave up ...
It seems there is no way to 'merge' 2 or more RPM databases (e.g. the 
system one and a private one) ?
