zypper si fail

Hi,

there is a src.rpm which can not installed via ‘zypper si file.src.rpm’. A
failed dependency search for ‘kernel-devel’. But this is a RH description of
the parts which are named kernel-source at SUSE.

If I run ‘rpmbuild --rebuild file.src.rpm’ I get the target rpm and can
install these binary with ‘zypper in file.rpm’.

I read the spec file and found a few lines that look for the OS. A test of
this lines at konsole brings me the correct result.

This and the fact that it is possible to run ‘rpmbuild --rebuild’ with the
correct result let me think that there is maybe a little bug in the part
‘zypper si’.

Maybe someone want to have a look at this.

Bye

Hi
You could try installing with a --no-deps option, but if you have the src rpm there is no need to install, you should rebuild as your user and only install the resulting binary rpm. A rpmbuild directory should be created in your ~/ directory.

Looked for a download link but couldn’t find…

There is no actual problem at me side. As I wrote I was able to install the
driver. It is running now.

But after a kernel patch it is possible that I have to rebuild again. I want
to make a repository for the src.rpm and install via zypper si so that in
case of a new kernel zypper automaticly rebuild the driver.
