[OpenAFS] openafs-authlibs RPMs

[Mike Polek]

Hi, all,
   In order to use the perl AFS module, I need the libraries
provided by the openafs-authlibs and openafs-authlibs-devel
packages. When I try to install the openafs-authlibs package,
it tells me:

# rpm -ivh openafs-authlibs-1.4.0-1.1.i386.rpm --test
error: Failed dependencies:
         libafsrpc.so is needed by openafs-authlibs-1.4.0-1.1.i386


Well, libafsrpc.so is provided by the devel package, which of
course depends on the regular package. So, when I attempt:

# rpm -ivh openafs-authlibs-1.4.0-1.1.i386.rpm 
openafs-authlibs-devel-1.4.0-1.1.i386.rpm --test
error: Failed dependencies:
         libafsrpc.so is needed by openafs-authlibs-1.4.0-1.1.i386
         openafs-devel = 1.4.0 is needed by 
openafs-authlibs-devel-1.4.0-1.1.i386

I ended up just copying the libraries manually, and the perl
module works fine. But it would be nice if the RPMs could be
installed correctly. I tried looking at the spec file, but not
being an expert in this field, I have no idea why there is a
dependency on libafsrpc.so or how it got there. (Is there a good
tutorial on the net someplace that would make this clear?)

I built the RPMs from the src RPM changing

%define make_authlibs 1

in the sped file to get the authlibs RPMs. Should I have done
something differently?

Thanks in advance...
