Just for the record, here is the exact output of the case above, on a Shrike box after upgrading to rpm-4.2.1-0.15.fdr.1:
# rpm -q --qf "%{name}-%{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}\n" glib glib-1:1.2.10-10 # rpm -Uvh glib-devel-1.2.10-10.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: glib = 1.2.10 is needed by glib-devel-1.2.10-10
Yes, *I know* there's a missing "1:" in this particular glib-devel-to-glib-dependency but why isn't the error message the following, IMO less confusing one?
error: Failed dependencies: glib = 0:1.2.10 is needed by glib-devel-1.2.10-10
Just to nitpick a little more, shouldn't that be:
error: Failed dependencies: glib = 0:1.2.10 is needed by glib-devel-0:1.2.10-10
For completeness?
