I've splitted the documentation into a %{name}-lang package using the %lang_package macro. I've noticed that the %lang_package macro adds a "Requires: %{name}" in the language package. In this particular package there's not a %{name} package since our shlib policies forces us to make a %{name}-%{soname} package for the libraries. The packages are useless as the lang package tries to pull an unexistent package. I only see two possible ways out of this mess: 1. Add manually the language package; 2. Filter the provides from the lang-package (I don't know how to do this on openSUSE, I've done in the past a few times for Fedora). Either way, though I agree with this macro in having an automatic "Requires: %{name}", there's a few cases in which this becomes troublesome. This is one of them. A fix should be required so we can still use this macro in all packages, as it's one of the most useful ones in openSUSE portfolio. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use %lang_package macro on a package where you don't generate a %{name} package. It will add unexisting dependencies on %{name} Actual Results: Fails resolving dependencies for installation. Expected Results: Package should install. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
