2012-10-09 21:37:16 -0600	asked a question	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.
