Hi, In my opinion there is already clear message about missing socat. Can we add it as rpm requirement on 10.3 ? R: Jan On Tue, Feb 6, 2018 at 11:35 AM, Sergei Golubchik <serg@mariadb.org> wrote:

Hi, Jan!

No, sorry, you cannot do it.

First, we cannot add new RPM dependencies in GA (we tried once and had to revert that change).

Second, there was already socat dependency in RPM, added by Nirbhay in

MDEV-6211 MariaDB-Galera-server uses 'socat', but 'socat' is not in the dependency list commit bd5ca5e6093046d7e69cc59f0950a7af2c0a7bf2

removed by Nirbhay in

MDEV-7233: Fix issue with missing dependency socat when installing MariaDB-galera-server on RedhatEL/OracleEL/(Others?) RPM based commit 41367e4023d0823624a461597813e6902437f096

I don't see a good solution for this issue. Adding socat to mariabackup package aren't much better, as mariabackup users don't really need socat either.

May be just a better error message in the script?

MDEV-15033: Node fails to join mdb cluster with wsrep_sst_mariabackup due to dependency from socat

Add socat dependency to cpack_rpm.cmake. Similar dependency already is on debian/control.
