Failed to include akmod to compose about rpm-ostree

[COM8]

I run into the same error as you. The problem is as follows:

1. During compose you install akmod-nvidia.
2. akmod-nvidia will run as part of the %post section during RPM install the build of nvidia-kmod which defines gcc, kernel-devel-uname-r and some others. 3. Although they might be already installed on the system (I suspect) the RPM DB is not yet updated to reflect them being installed, leading to the system thinking they are not and then failing.
3. I'm currently working on a patched akmod-nvidia RPM that is able to be installed during OSTree compose. This involves moving nvidia-kmod BuildRequires into akmod-nvidia Requires definitions.

In my eyes this is not the optimal solution since I would expect rpm-ostree compose handling this as it's done on all other systems as well. This would then allow installation of any other akmod kernel module during compose as well without having to patch it first.

Here is a fixed RPM that works during rpm-ostree compose: https://github.com/COM8/nvidia-kmod

rpm-ostree will not pull BuildRequires dependencies as those are only installed when the package is built, not on normal installations.

@travier I'm fine with closing this, but this is not the point.

The point is, you define something as Requires or even Requires(post) in an RPM spec. Then, inside the %post section of that RPM, you call rpmbuild (e.g. the process that happens during an akmod install) and there it fails to find the RPM dependency you previously defined as Requires(post) during the BuildRequires check of the RPM you are building.

Ah, I think I understand what you meant now.
