[Cooker] PreReq -> Requires(foo) -> ? saga

[Andreas Hasenack]

Confirming what openldap-servers need:
# rpm -qR openldap-servers|grep libsasl2
libsasl2 = 2.1.19
libsasl2.so.2

# rpm -q --whatrequires libsasl2|grep openldap
#

uhoh... Where is the libsasl2 requirement? But let's move on.


Let's see what happens if we install libsasl2-2.1.22. It shouldn't work
because we will be removing libsasl2-2.1.19 which openldap-servers need:

# rpm -Fvh *.rpm
A preparar...               ########################################### [100%]
   1:libsasl2               ########################################### [  7%]
   2:cyrus-sasl             ########################################### [ 14%]
   3:libsasl2-devel         ########################################### [ 21%]
(...)

# rpm -q libsasl2
libsasl2-2.1.22-1mdk

It was installed! But what about the libsasl2 = 2.1.19 requirement?
Just to make sure:

# rpm -q --provides libsasl2
libsasl2.so.2
libsasl2 = 2.1.22-1mdk

No 2.1.19 is provided by the new package, yet it was installed.

What does rpm think now?

# rpm -V openldap-servers
Unsatisfied dependencies for openldap-servers-2.2.24-2mdk.i586: libsasl2 = 2.1.19
S.5....T  c /etc/sysconfig/ldap

So, how come the package was installed without complaints?
