Bug Description

Binary package hint: osc

When installing "osc", "rpm" should be installed as a dependency. Otherwise, running "osc up" on a local copy, returns "Unable to open /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc for reading: No such file or directory.".

aptitude install rpm fixes the error, however adding rpm as a dep seems more reasonable to me.

osc has dependency on python-rpm which pulls in these files, however probably not versions which are currently in Karmic Koala. Once osc and rpm will be in same state as currently in Debian, it will be fixed.

This still doesn't work in Karmic. osc pulls python-rpm but this in turn does not install rpm. Does that mean, the dependencies of python-rpm are broken? Or should osc pull rpm by itself?

Okay, this was issue with python-rpm dependencies.

And this should be fixed as currently Ubuntu has 4.7.2, which has this fixed.
