Why it should? Last time I tried lilo it worked without device-mapper.
Are you sure that this is _strict_ dependency?

# ldd /sbin/lilo
libdevmapper.so.1.02 => /lib/libdevmapper.so.1.02 (0x00002b69480b7000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002b69481c8000)
/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002b6947f9c000)

# uname -a
Linux aserver 2.6.18 #1 PREEMPT Wed Sep 20 13:24:08 MSD 2006 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

it is x86_64 only bug

it's a new feature from 22.7.3 release - Changelog: - Install device-mapper patches. (geometry.c, Makefile)

the makefile detects if device-mapper is installed. so it's more a feature request if we should sed it out or want to add device-mapper as a dep.

i vote for adding the dependency. i will fix the x86_64 pkg that way and reassign the bug to Judd to decide about the feature.

You mean makedepends, not depends, right?
Comment by Andreas Radke (AndyRTR) - Thursday, 14 December 2006, 17:18 GMT
no, if lilo is linked against libdevmapper.so.1.02 we need it also as a real dependency.

x86_64 is fixed now. this will also solve lilo not working on the iso.
