Welcome to rpmdeplint’s documentation!

Rpmdeplint is a tool to find errors in RPM packages in the context of their dependency graph.

rpmdeplint

Synopsis

rpmdeplint check-sat [--repo NAME,PATH] [RPMPATH]

rpmdeplint check-conflicts [--repo NAME,PATH] [RPMPATH]

rpmdeplint list-deps [--repo NAME,PATH] [RPMPATH]

Description

The rpmdeplint will test dependency satisfiability of given RPM packages against given repositories.

Options

--repo NAME,PATH

You can provide multiple repos of each type. The NAME may be anything you choose. The path must either be a filesystem path or a URL. In either case, the path is expected to point at repodata/repomd.xml.

Arguments

RPMPATH

Path to an RPM package. This can be a relative or absolute filesystem path.

Commands

check-sat

Checks for unmet dependencies with the given RPM packages against the given repositories. Each unmet dependency is listed.

check-conflicts

Checks for undeclared file conflicts in the given RPM packages: that is, when one of the given package contains a file which is also contained in some other package.

This command will not report a file as conflicting between two packages if:

• there is an explicit RPM Conflicts between the two packages; or
• the file’s checksum, permissions, owner, and group are identical in both packages (RPM allows both packages to own the file in this case); or
• the file’s color is different between the two packages (RPM will silently resolve the conflict in favour of the 64-bit file).

list-deps

All dependencies will be listed for each given RPM package.

Exit status

Zero if all dependencies are satisfiable. Non-zero if dependency errors are encountered.

Examples

Test if an RPM package has unsatisfied dependencies against a remote repository:

rpmdeplint check-sat --repo beaker,https://beaker-project.org/yum/client/Fedora23/ my-package.rpm

  Problems with dependency set:
  nothing provides python(abi) = 2.7 needed by some-package-1.2.3.fc23.noarch
  nothing provides TurboGears >= 1.1.3 needed by other-package-33.2-1.fc23.noarch

List all dependencies for my-package.rpm:

rpmdeplint list-deps --repo beaker,https://beaker-project.org/yum/client/Fedora23/ my-package.rpm

  my-package has 72 dependencies:
          basesystem-11-1.fc23.noarch
          bash-4.3.42-1.fc23.x86_64
          beaker-common-22.1-1.fc22.noarch
          ....
