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

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Comment 2 Thierry Vignaud 2012-05-29 11:02:22 CEST 
Real resolution

Resolution: FIXED => INVALID

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

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

Comment 4 Thierry Vignaud 2012-05-29 13:42:43 CEST 
That's exactly the intended purpose, make them not installable by default.
If you don't agree, go to http://rpm.org/report

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