rpm dependencies

15.3 is not very current with emacs. It’s still on 25.3.
I’m trying to install emacs 27.2 from: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/editors/openSUSE_Leap_15.3/x86_64/ but emacs-info is missing from there.

I ran:


zypper info --requires ~/downloads/rpms/emacs-27.2-lp153.371.17.x86_64.rpm                 
Loading repository data... 
Reading installed packages... 


package '/home/froggy/downloads/rpms/emacs-27.2-lp153.371.17.x86_64.rpm' not found.

but it’s there:


ls -alF  ~/downloads/rpms/emacs-27.2-lp153.371.17.x86_64.rpm 
-rw-r--r-- 1 froggy users 16669888 Nov  5 13:38 /home/froggy/downloads/rpms/emacs-27.2-lp153.371.17.x86_64.rpm

2 part question:

  1. Where can I get the emacs-info file for 27.2?
  2. How do I get rpm requirements with zypper?

Thank you

While the man page says for zypper install:

install (in) [options] name|capability|rpm_file_uri...

which includes the mentioning of rpm_file_uri (can be a local path like you do), but for zypper info it says

info (if) [options] name...

which does not include that.

Thus IMHO, your syntax is incorrect.

Have you enabled the directory as Repo?

/home/froggy/downloads/rpms

#4

Use rpm. rpm -q --requires -p file.rpm

#5

No it wasn’t. It’s just a local directory where I download some rpm that aren’t provided by the regular repos.

doing:

rpm -q --requires -p ~/downloads/rpms/emacs-27.2-lp153.371.17.x86_64.rpm                   
config(emacs) = 27.2-lp153.371.17 
emacs-info = 27.2                   <<<<<<<<
emacs_program = 27.2-lp153.371.17
...

Where can I find emacs-info 27.2?

Thank you

If you enable it as Repo, zypper will show also the content:
