https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1203735 Bug ID: 1203735 Summary: virtualbox-guest-tools obsoletes but does not provide virtualbox-guest-x11 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.3 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Virtualization:Other Assignee: llrainey15@gmail.com Reporter: fvogt@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de CC: Larry.Finger@gmail.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Some images still refer to "virtualbox-guest-x11", but that is only provided by the old package. As virtualbox-guest-tools appears to be a full replacement FWICT, it needs to to "Provide: virtualbox-guest-x11" as well. 15.3, 15.4 and TW are affected. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Do the fixes in requests #1006070 and #1006071 take care of this issue?
They don't fix the root cause. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

This is a Vagrant software issue - please open a bug with them.
OpenSUSE had to support VirtualBox in X11 and Wayland - we have done this as with 6.1.38 by putting the support in virtualbox-guest-tools.
Exactly. That means that virtualbox-guest-tools needs to Obsolete: virtualbox-guest-x11 < %{version} as well as Provides: virtualbox-guest-x11 = %{version} but currently it only does the former.
virtualbox-guest-x11 is no longer a valid OpenSUSE VirtualBox library.

The "Provides:" line you request is easily done, but I still do not understand why it is necessary, particularly given the amount of OBS time (6-8 hours) that will be required to build all the flavors.
So that anything which still references "virtualbox-guest-x11" pulls in "virtualbox-guest-tools" instead. Currently it breaks because the package is just obsoleted but not provided. (In reply to Larry Finger from comment #7)
I have added the missing "Provides" line and submitted to TW, Leap 15.3 and Leap 15.4.

What is the problem. Every guest that asks for virtualbox-guest-x11 NEEDS virtualbox-guest-tools. I do not see any reason to provide a package with no files in it. Would OBS even allow that? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

"Provides:" does not create a new package, it simply adds a new tag to the virtualbox-guest-tools package. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
