I have e2fsprogs-1.41.10.sun2-0redhat from the lustre downloads page
installed as part of my lustre 1.8.3 installation and it's causing some
weird dependency issues on my OSS's. When I attempt to upgrade or
install new packages on the system I get errors like:
krb5-libs-1.6.1-36.el5_5.4.i386 from updates has depsolving problems
--> Missing Dependency: libcom_err.so.2 is needed by package
krb5-libs-1.6.1-36.el5_5.4.i386 (updates)
libcom_err.so.2 is provided as part of the lustre patched e2fsprogs
package, whereas it is usually part of e2fsprogs-libs if you get it
directly from redhat. The issue seems to be in how the provides are
defined for the package:
[root at oss0 ~]# rpm -q --provides e2fsprogs
e2fsprogs-libs = 1.41.10.sun2
ldiskfsprogs
libblkid.so.1()(64bit)
libcom_err.so.2()(64bit)
libe2p.so.2()(64bit)
libext2fs.so.2()(64bit)
libss.so.2()(64bit)
libuuid.so.1()(64bit)
e2fsprogs = 1.41.10.sun2-0redhat
And on a CentOS 5 machine that doesn't have lustre installed:
[root at node2 ~]# rpm -q --provides e2fsprogs-libs
libblkid.so.1()(64bit)
libcom_err.so.2()(64bit)
libe2p.so.2()(64bit)
libext2fs.so.2()(64bit)
libss.so.2()(64bit)
libuuid.so.1()(64bit)
e2fsprogs-libs = 1.39-23.el5
libblkid.so.1
libcom_err.so.2
libe2p.so.2
libext2fs.so.2
libss.so.2
libuuid.so.1
e2fsprogs-libs = 1.39-23.el5
More to the point:
[root at oss0 ~]# rpm -q --whatprovides libcom_err.so.2
no package provides libcom_err.so.2
[root at oss0 ~]# rpm -q --whatprovides "libcom_err.so.2()(64bit)"
e2fsprogs-1.41.10.sun2-0redhat
The library is installed, however my guess is that due to the extra
"()(64bit)" in the provides, rpm refuses to recognize it. Is this
something that can be fixed in the e2fsprogs package? Thanks!
