Thread: Which mx RPM do you have for postgresql-python?

Which mx RPM do you have for postgresql-python?

From

Hullo,

When I install/upgrade the PostgreSQL RPM's, all of them work fine
except postgresql-python.  It complains about an unsatisfied dependency:
no "mx".  However, I have installed the RPM for egenix-mx-base... Is
there some other mx that I should be using?  Or does the RPM spec file
need to be fixed at your end?

If anyone on this list is using the postgresql-python RPM, and has
satisfied the dependency the right way, could you do "rpm -qi mx" to
tell me where you got it?

(Apparently overriding the dependency with a --nodeps works okay, but
I'd like to avoid that if possible.)

Thanx.

P.S. If I recall correctly, I noticed this problem with the previous
     release (7.1.2) and it appears to be the same in 7.1.3.

Hmmmmm......

The dependency is currently declared by name.  Can you do a quick
rpm -q --provides
for the egenix-mx-base package and mail me the results?

It seems to be the same package with a different name -- an unfortunate
condition.

Hi.  Thanks for the reply.  I didn't know there was another mx to be
had.  Anyway, "rpm -q --provides egenix-mx-base" returns:

   mxBeeBase.so
   mxDateTime.so
   mxProxy.so
   mxQueue.so
   mxStack.so
   mxTextTools.so
   mxTools.so
   xmap.so
   egenix-mx-base = 2.0.1-1

Below is a slightly re-arranged "rpm -qi egenix-mx-base".  (Arranged for
readability on an 80-character-wide console.)
