RPM package dependencies

Question

I modified the .spec file from a source RPM available in the EPEL repository.

# yumdownloader pjproject
# yumdownloader --source pjproject

Now, I don't see any Requires option in the spec file however the original RPM still tries to install some additional packages. Where these dependencies are specified? Is this done in the configure script?

So, I've installed the custom version and repoquery still shows speex and others although they were not required during yum installation. Where is this information pulled from?

# repoquery --requires --resolve pjproject
speex-0:1.2-0.19.rc1.el7.x86_64
libstdc++-0:4.8.5-16.el7_4.2.x86_64
libgcc-0:4.8.5-16.el7_4.2.x86_64
glibc-0:2.17-196.el7_4.2.i686
libuuid-0:2.23.2-43.el7_4.2.x86_64
gsm-0:1.0.13-11.el7.x86_64
glibc-0:2.17-196.el7.x86_64
libsrtp-0:1.4.4-10.20101004cvs.el7.x86_64
openssl-libs-1:1.0.2k-8.el7.x86_64

RPM automatically finds runtime dependencies, so Requires: usually isn't necessary. If the requires are in the RPM, it's because the program as compiled actually needs them. — Michael Hampton, Mar 27, 2018 at 16:48
You can force no automatic requirements with AutoReq: no. In that case the rpm will likey don't pull any dependencies unless you specify them yourself. — Pierre-Alain TORET, Mar 29, 2018 at 15:20
Build Requires: and Requires: are 2 different things. Now if you look at your %configure in %build you can see %configure --enable-shared \ - --with-external-gsm \ - --with-external-pa \ - --with-external-speex \ - --with-external-srtp \ So these determine as third party libs which needed on install — Danila Ladner, Mar 30, 2018 at 2:14

One of the handy/annoying things that RPM does for you is the automatic discovery of Provides and Requires. There is a documented way to filter its helpfulness. For example, these lines in your spec file will effectively remove the direct dependencies on the three libraries you're trying to excise:

# https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:AutoProvidesAndRequiresFiltering
%global _privatelibs lib(gsmcodec|srtp|speex)[.]so.*
%global __provides_exclude ^(%{_privatelibs})$
%global __requires_exclude ^(%{_privatelibs})$

You can verify that they are gone, by inspecting the generated rpm file:

$ rpm -q --provides -p ../RPMS/x86_64/pjproject-2.3-6.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm libpj.so.2()(64bit) libpjlib-util.so.2()(64bit) libpjmedia-audiodev.so.2()(64bit) libpjmedia-codec.so.2()(64bit) libpjmedia-videodev.so.2()(64bit) libpjmedia.so.2()(64bit) libpjnath.so.2()(64bit) libpjsip-simple.so.2()(64bit) libpjsip-ua.so.2()(64bit) libpjsip.so.2()(64bit) libpjsua.so.2()(64bit) libpjsua2.so.2()(64bit) pjproject = 2.3-6.el7.centos pjproject(x86-64) = 2.3-6.el7.centos

However, if you use repoquery, you get the results of interrogating the upstream package repo instead of your own custom build.

Since I believe pjsip's source bundles those libraries, check your Install section in the spec to see if the locally built libs for those deps are being left out of the binary RPM. It's likely something like there's auto reqs being determined and since they're left out of the RPM, the external RPMs are being included instead. You could also try disabling --enable-shared to build a monolithic binary
