[umlbuilder-devel] Re: [umlbuilder-user] Redhat 9 profile

[Derrick M. <d2...@pe...>]

I've been trying to get more of Redhat 9 to work...  The RPM dependency
calculation failed for a few RPMs.  This is what I had to do:

There are multiple RPMs that provide things like "kernel".  I removed the
following RPMs to work around the problem.  Is there a way to tell
umlbuilder to ignore these RPMs?  Or simply tell it which one to use?

compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm
kernel-2.4.20-8.athlon.rpm
kernel-2.4.20-8.i686.rpm
kernel-bigmem-2.4.20-8.i686.rpm
kernel-smp-2.4.20-8.athlon.rpm
kernel-smp-2.4.20-8.i686.rpm

There was also a problem with RPMs that had version strings starting with
non-digits, ie. "alpha" or "v3.0".  "cdparanoia" and "kinput2" are two
such packages in Redhat9.  The following patch fixes the problem.
