-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, this morning I investigated a mysterious failure of an automated test (on SLES-11-SP2 but should apply to openSUSE as well) that had been working unchanged for weeks, but there were no recent changes to the relevant components. It turned out to be, that 1. /var/lib/nova was owned by root, even though the openstack-nova package correctly had it marked as owner=nova 2. rpm -qf /var/lib/nova showed that there was a 2nd package that claimed to own it 3. we recently changed dependencies between packages, so I think that the bad package was also pulled in now and that this caused the directory to be owned by the wrong user the bad package had a line %dir %attr(0755, root, root) %{_localstatedir}/lib/nova and when I dropped it, it failed to build with ... running 04-check-filelist ... checking filelist noVNC-2012.0.99.1328944883.master.22b9a75-0.noarch.rpm: directories not owned by a package: - /var/lib/nova and I think that this fatal check was the reason for someone to add the bad line and cause this problem. For now I added a BuildRequires: openstack-nova but I think there should be a better way to tell the build system (or check scripts) that it is OK for some file to not be owned by any package. Using these pseudo BuildRequires causes extra rebuilds on OBS and all for no good reason.
