Pulling in rpms newer than those needed?

[hartwork]

When trying to install fedora-22, a version of rpm is installed that is too to mee other the requirements of other packages, it seems.

A version "<= 4.2.2-1" seems to be needed:

# time sudo http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8123/ yumbootstrap fedora-22 fedora-22-root
[..]
Running transaction check
ERROR You need to update rpm to handle:

But version 4.12.0.1 seems to be downloaded and installed:

# find fedora-22-root/ -type f -name 'rpm*' | xargs -n1 basename
rpm-libs-4.12.0.1-10.fc22.x86_64.rpm
rpm-python-4.12.0.1-10.fc22.x86_64.rpm
rpm-plugin-systemd-inhibit-4.12.0.1-10.fc22.x86_64.rpm
rpm-plugin-selinux-4.12.0.1-10.fc22.x86_64.rpm
rpm-build-libs-4.12.0.1-10.fc22.x86_64.rpm
rpm-4.12.0.1-10.fc22.x86_64.rpm

How come?

Could it be that mirrors different fedora releases are mixed or something?

I'm hitting this when trying Fedora 23.

I just figured it out! @hartwork and I are both Gentoo users and Gentoo installs rpm with the caps and lua USE flags disabled by default. Enabling these makes the problem go away.

[hartwork]

@chewi, it seems you are right: many thanks!
I have fixed the yumbootstrap dependencies in betagarden now, as proposed (https://cgit.gentoo.org/proj/betagarden.git/commit/?id=9137f823357ea4ff482e6dc88f5ecfb215985b4b).

Could you elaborate how you found caps or why it is needed?

[chewi]

I just saw BuiltinLuaScripts and FileCaps and figured that's what was needed!

[hartwork]

Alright, I overlooked FileCaps. Thanks!
