https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=766544 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=766544#c0 Summary: _link not removed Classification: Internal Novell Products Product: openSUSE Build Service Version: 2.3 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: General AssignedTo: adrian@suse.com ReportedBy: rschweikert@suse.com QAContact: adrian@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- The package perl-Test-Unit was recently dropped from Factory as it was broken. In the development project devel:languages:perl/perl-Test-Unit a _link file existed that pointed to Factory. In the web-ui a warning box appeared indicating that the package did not exists. When I checked out the package from devel:languages:perl and submitted a fix the package did not rebuild properly, i.e. my patch did not get applied. Only after I manually removed the _link file through the web-ui did my patch get picked up and the build issue was resolved. I submitted a new SR to factory for the package. -- 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.

So the state stays in "broken" and no matter what you change it will not even consider to build it. -- 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.

The second problem is that on a local build it just worked, i.e. the build succeeded and in OBS it fails with no indication why there would be a difference in behavior. -- 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.
