Bug #20078	MySQL-bench-5.0.21 RPMs contain strange dependencies
Submitted:	25 May 2006 21:29	Modified:	26 Jun 2006 13:56
Reporter:	Valeriy Kravchuk	Email Updates:
Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Server: Packaging	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	5.0.21	OS:	Linux (Linux FC4, RHEL4, SuSE 9.3)
Assigned to:	Kent Boortz	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
RPM packages for MySQL-bench-5.0.21 (MySQL-Test-5.0.21-1, in case of RHEL4) depends on several *.pl files that usually are located in mysql-test/lib subdirectory (in MySQL test suite), but not included in any other RPM MySQL usually provides. As a result, these RPMs are useless.

How to repeat:
suse:/tmp # rpm -i MySQL-server-5.0.21-0.glibc23.i386.rpm
warning: MySQL-server-5.0.21-0.glibc23.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5072e1f5
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h suse password 'new-password'
See the manual for more instructions.

NOTE:  If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run
the /usr/bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be
able to use the new GRANT command!

Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!

Suggested fix:
Include complete test suite in RPM binaries.

Exact same problem verified.

This is just another variation of what has been reported in BUG#13634 - we should try to disable the Perl module dependency checking altogether. The other bug report has a few pointers on how to do that.

A patch for this bug has been committed. After review, it may
be pushed to the relevant source trees for release in the next
version. You can access the patch from:

  http://lists.mysql.com/commits/8109

The correction for the dependency problem in
the "bench" and "test" RPM packages will be
in 4.1.21, 5.0.23 and 5.1.12.

Documented bugfix in 4.1.21/5.0.23/5.1.12 changelogs. Closed.
