RPM spec file dependency issue

[jms1voalte]

The resource-agents.spec.in file has Requires: lines referencing the following:

• /usr/bin/grep
• /usr/bin/hostname
• /usr/bin/netstat

The CentOS 7 RPMs which install those programs, declare them as /bin/grep, /bin/hostname, and /bin/netstat. This "works" because on CentOS 7, /bin is a symlink to /usr/bin.

Because the filenames being "provided" and "required" are not the same, they don't match in the yum database, and yum update commands are failing because of it.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

My first instinct would be to change the Required: lines in the resource-agents.spec.in file, however I have no idea how that would impact other RPM-based distributions, and I don't want to break things for other distros. (Plus I don't have the time right now to sit down and figure out how to set up a conditional block so that CentOS 7 uses /bin/xxx and other distros use /usr/bin/xxx.)
