Re: 'Requires' directive in spec file ignored?

["Jeff Johnson" <n3npq jbj gmail com>]

The spec file you posted has this:

Summary: mDNSResponder
Name: mDNSResponder
Version: %{version}
Release: %{release}

The "Version: %{version}" causes a macro recursion because

after Version: is parsed, one ends up defining version to itself.

Basically same as doing

    %define version %{version}

which can never be evaluated.

After commenting out all the elements in, I see dependencies:

$ rpm -qp mDNSResponder-1.2-3.*.rpm --requires
