RPM Missing dependency
I am creating a RPM which has the following shared objects:
libexample.so --> libexample.so.1.0.1
libexample.so.1.0.1
When I am creating the RPM using rpmbuild
, I see the rpm provides libexample.so.1.0.1
. But, in the require section I see libexample.so
In the makefile of the project I refer libexample.so
When I am trying to install the rpm it gives an error "Missing dependency: libexample.so"
even though it is packaged as a link file pointing to
libexample.so.1.0.1
So the problem is somehow RPM is not considering that I am packaging libexample.so
(which is a link to libexample.so.1.0.1
)
However, I installed the rpm using --nodeps option and everything is working fine.
So, my question is how should I modify to avoid getting the error of missing dependency.
To validate that the missing dependency is due to the link file, I changed libexample.so
from a link file to an actual shared object (cp libexample.so.1.0.1 libexample.so
) and rpm does not giving the missing dependency error.
Can someone please help to tell me what I am missing and how to fix this missing dependency error in RPM. Thanks a lot in advance for your help and time.
