Let it build. Because cross is just linked, and the binutils package is missing cross-x86_64-binutils.spec, the build system will fall back to calling rpmbuild binutils.spec instead (verified by looking at the output of ps(1). Thus, both binutils and cross-x86_64-binutils will generate a binutils.rpm. I can imagine that other steps are possible to produce such a scenario, such as two totally independent packages (without linkpac) but which still happen to result in the same binary rpm filename afterwards. 4. One of (binutils, cross-x86_64-binutils) will finish later than the other. The exact package can be found by looking at :full/binutils.rpm and comparing the inode number against binutils/binutils.rpm and cross-x86_64-binutils/binutils.rpm. Let's assume for now that :full/binutils.rpm is hardlinked to cross-x86_64-binutils/binutils.rpm. 5. Developer decides to remove the cross-x86_64-binutils package. :full/binutils.rpm will be removed, leading to a case where no binutils is available anymore, and the scheduler will kill off all packages in the project with "nothing provides binutils". This assuming the project has no parent project where binutils would be available and sourced from. There is no way to trigger a rebuild binutils, because well, you need binutils to build binutils, thus the "breakdown". The only way to fix this is to manually rehardlink files in :full, which requires appropriate privileges which are not always available. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
