Walsh <Astara@tlinx.org> --- FWIW, It may be a while before I can attempt to reproduce this problem since my local distro copy got wiped due to a flakey controller that wiped several, maybe up to around 20TB, of data originally coming from the net, including several opensuse distros going back to around OpenSUSE 10.3. Complicating restoring opensuse related info has been a switch in to a different encoding (compression) for RPM's that isn't readable by earlier opensuse RPMs. The newer RPM can only be built on the suse OBS (OpenBuildSystem) where the OBS's PATHs and MACROs are used. From that comes an RPM package that is built to run a OBS-compatible build system. This means that unless your settings match that target, the built RPM won't run unless your local system already matches that of SUSE's OBS. At this point, there doesn't seem to be anything one can install on a local system that will build an OBS compatible RPM. This means that you can't get to "there" from "here", directly, but by some, yet-to-be-determined, locally-hosted, OBS-compatible-build-system. Until that can be built, current OBS-built RPM's that can be downloaded, are useless for end-users that don't already have an OBS-compatible runtime.
