Dependency Resolution Fails on Installed Library

Question

I\'m trying to install a rpm and get following error:

---> Package geramer-server.x86_64 0:3.6.0.117-1 will be an update
--> Processing Dependency: libcryp         


        

Answer 1

Dependencies have module names, which are listed in parenthesis to prevent collisions between packages. However, openssl in RHEL or openssl-libs on Fedora provide libcrypto.so.10 with four different module names for two architectures:

$ rpm -q --provides openssl-libs | grep libcrypto.so.10
libcrypto.so.10()(64bit)
libcrypto.so.10(OPENSSL_1.0.1)(64bit)
libcrypto.so.10(OPENSSL_1.0.1_EC)(64bit)
libcrypto.so.10(libcrypto.so.10)(64bit)
libcrypto.so.10
libcrypto.so.10(OPENSSL_1.0.1)
libcrypto.so.10(OPENSSL_1.0.1_EC)
libcrypto.so.10(libcrypto.so.10)

It seems to be the case for CentOS too, which is RHEL based.

In your case, openssl seems to provide only libcrypto.so.10 without any module name, making geramer-server believe that dependency is missing as it requires libcrypto.so.10 from module libcrypto.so.10.
