I created an RPM that has 

Requires: ruby193-rubygem-passenger-native = 3.0.21-4.el6op

yum deplist myrpm says that myrpm requires that release and it's satisfied by that rpm which is in my repository. Yet, when I do "yum update myrpm at that point yum does not say that it will update to the newer release. Then, when I do rpm -qa | grep passenger-native, the 3.el6op release is still installed and not the 4.el6op release.

Why won't yum install the newer release? I can manually install the newer release, and no RPMs specifically require the older one.

Their RPM changed a file path and only incremented the release number and not the version number, so my RPM explicitly needs the newer release.

rpm -qR myrm prints what?

  • ruby193-rubygem-passenger-native

or

  • ruby193-rubygem-passenger-native >= 3.0.21-4.el6op

I would guess it is the first one. In that case yum update myrpm will update myrpm and dependencies which are needed. But 3.el6op will satisfy that requires as well so it is not necessary to update that package. Plain yum update should update everything included that SCL package.

  • Actually, my output is the latter. I suppose yum simply doesn't care as much as I do that there is a higher release available. Our workaround is to just change our update procedure to explicitly also update ruby193-rubygem-passenger-native which does pull down the newer release version we need.
