Hello Everyone,
I created an (my first!) RPM of this software http://www.xen-tools.org/software/xen-tools/ but I'm having some issues when trying to install it.
Before anyone ask, yes, the long term plan is to follow all the usual step to get the package officially accepted in Fedora, but I'd like to have it "working" before starting to do that. :-)
So, xen-tools is just a collection of perl scripts, but having the package I'm making depend from perl is driving me nuts! :-O Spec file is attached (I've run it through rpmlint, and I know it have some issues, but still...) and here's what I get when I tr to install the result of `rpmbuild -ba xen-tools.spec':
# yum install ../RPMS/noarch/xen-tools-4.3.1-1.fc18.noarch.rpm Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Examining ../RPMS/noarch/xen-tools-4.3.1-1.fc18.noarch.rpm: xen-tools-4.3.1-1.fc18.noarch Marking ../RPMS/noarch/xen-tools-4.3.1-1.fc18.noarch.rpm to be installed Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ... ---> Package xen-tools.noarch 0:4.3.1-1.fc18 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: perl(any) for package: xen-tools-4.3.1-1.fc18.noarch --> Processing Dependency: perl(any) for package: xen-tools-4.3.1-1.fc18.noarch --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: xen-tools-4.3.1-1.fc18.noarch (/xen-tools-4.3.1-1.fc18.noarch) Requires: perl(any) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
I googled for this quite a bit, but I don't seem to be able to find anything explaining how to make that "Requires: perl(any)" go away... :-(
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot and Regards, Dario
