https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1214167 Bug ID: 1214167 Summary: OBS: nothing provides lzip Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: BuildService Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: manfred99@gmx.ch QA Contact: adrian.schroeter@suse.com Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- In the package rcs (https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:tools:scm/rcs), there is a build error for Leap 15.4 and Leap 15.5: "unresolvable: nothing provides lzip" Although both distributions provide lzip, and the required "BuildRequires: lzip" is given in the spec file. The issue seems to be, that OBS builds against a subset of packages (drawing by Jan Engelhardt): SLE-15.5-Base `-- SLE-15.5-Update <- devel:tools:scm is pointing here `-- SLE-15.5-Backports <- lzip is available from here `-- Leap:15.5 `-- Leap:15.5:Update Which explains why this can not work. But there are software projects (such as RCS) which only distribute lzip-compressed release tarballs. IMHO such a basic, widely used compression tool should be available in SLE-15.5-Base or SLE-15.5-Update, so that OBS can use it to build packages. Alternatively there should be a mechanism to provide essential building blocks to OBS (outside of SLE-.*), so that OBS can do its duty. At the moment there is no possibility to build software which provides lzip-tarballs. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
