Hi all,
EPEL provides rpmlint for EL5 (version 0.94 if I'm not mistaken). I've tried to
install it on a test machine (RHEL 5.5) and it doesn't install because it fails
to resolve dependencies, xz. I don't believe xz is provided by RHEL
repositories, and it seems it's not also provided by EPEL.
Package fails to install. What are the normal procedures to get this fixed? I
would assume that using a conditional to check the version and include the xz
dependency only for RHEL6 or superior would do the trick, as an example:
%if 0%{?rhel_version}>= 6
Requires: xz
%endif
Bug reports for EPEL are submitted on bugzilla.redhat.com?
xz is in the base repository of RHEL ( and EPEL builds against the
latest release )
OTOH your machine needs to be updated to a more recent RHEL version:
#yum list \*xz\*
