BUT.. If something fails __at_runtime__ due to the lack of "la" files then we have a real bug. -- 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.

Cristian: I've a package "bluefish-unstable" in OBS:Education repository, which builds fine on 11.1 and breaks on Factory depending on the removal of /usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.la (libart_lgpl-devel).
Is there a chance to get the file back via a "libart_lgpl-devel-static" package or something like this?
In this particular case /usr/lib64/libgnomecanvas-2.la still references libart_lgpl_2.la and "libgnomecanvas" package fails to build with error: libgnomecanvas-lang-2.20.1.1-86.x86_64.rpm: directories not owned by a package: - /usr/share/locale/sr@Latn - /usr/share/locale/sr@Latn/LC_MESSAGES hence clean new "libgnomecanvas-devel" package is not used when you rebuild "bluefish-unstable" The good thing that we will run into this pain only once ;-) -- 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.
