I hope this is the right forum for repoquery=2C as I believe it is part of =
yum-utils package.
I have an RPM in my repo that requires a non-existent package (i.e. broken =
dependency chain).
$ repoquery --requires mypackage
nonexistent_package > 3.0
this_package_exists > 1.0
Yum correctly identifies this as a problem upon installation:
$ sudo yum -y install mypackage
# output omitted for brevity
--> Missing Dependency: nonexistent_package > 3.0 is needed by package mypa=
ckage-0.0.1-2.el5.x86_64 (reponame)
Error: Missing Dependency: nonexistent_package > 3.0 is needed by package m=
ypackage-0.0.1-2.el5.x86_64 (reponame)
Yum deplist works as far as detecting the issue:
$ yum deplist mypackage
Finding dependencies:
package: mypackage.x86_64 0.0.1-2.el5
dependency: nonexistent_package > 3.0
Unsatisfied dependency
dependency: this_package_exists > 1.0
provider: this_package_exists.x86_64 1.4.6-480.el5
However=2C when I try resolving on repoquery=2C it doesn't say anything abo=
ut the nonexistent_package=2C and exit code is 0.
$ repoquery --requires --resolve mypackage
this_package_exists-0:1.1.0-394.el5.x86_64
$ echo $?
0
Searching for the provider of nonexistent_package comes up empty=2C obvious=
ly:
$ repoquery --whatprovides nonexistent_package
$=20
Is there a way to have repoquery report on resolution failures? The current=
behavior is problematic because there is no way to tell when resolution fa=
iled=3B repoquery silently ignores capabilities that didn't resolve and onl=
y return what it could resolve=2C which means the result isn't trustworthy.
Thanks=2C
