Description David Walser 2012-05-28 21:34:38 CEST

I was tried to build an update for gpac in Cauldron, and the build failed, so I went in by hand and ran make to finish the build, then ran bm -i --short-circuit and bm -b --short-circuit to finish the package build.  Trying to install the resulting packages gave these kind of errors:
rpmlib(ShortCircuited) <= 4.9.0-1 is needed by libgpac2-0.5.0-1.mga2.i586

Not only is that version wrong, rpm shouldn't be adding special dependencies to a package if it was built with --short-circuit anyway.

No.
That's per design (upstream decision).
So that people know they are installing potentially troubled packages

They're not installing it at all because it won't install.  The version is wrong.

Status: RESOLVED => REOPENED
Resolution: INVALID => (none)

That's exactly the intended purpose, make them not installable by default.
