https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462576 Summary: zypper source-install --no-build-deps acts differently for non-root user Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: contact@philipashmore.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Problem: I want to install a source package and it's build dependencies seperately. The build dependencies are normal packages and require root privileges to install - no problem. For the command line I'm using '#' to denote root shell commands, '$' for a regular user. When I try to install the build dependencies --build-deps-only (as root) # zypper source-install --build-deps-only wine Reading installed packages... Loading repository data... Resolving package dependencies... The following source package is going to be installed: wine Overall download size: 14.1 M. After the operation, additional 14.2 M will be used. Continue? [YES/no]: y Retrieving: wine-1.1.9-1.10.src.rpm [done (277.5 K/s)] Comments: 1. It should have downloaded and installed the build dependencies for wine - it didn't. 2. It did the exact opposite - it installed the source package. 3. I can find the wine.spec file in /usr/src/packages/SPECS, but nothing else. When I try to install just the source package --no-build-deps (as a regular user) $ zypper source-install --no-build-deps wine Loading repository data... Resolving package dependencies... The following NEW packages are going to be installed: bash bash-doc e2fsprogs filesystem glibc info libblkid1 libbz2-1 libcom_err2 libext2fs2 libncurses5 libreadline5 libuuid1 libvolume_id1 libzio ncurses-utils readline-doc terminfo-base zlib The following source package is going to be installed: wine Overall download size: 4.0 M. After the operation, additional 12.2 M will be used. Continue? [YES/no]: Zypper seems to behave differently than expected in this case too. I have ~/.rpmrc and ~/.rpmmacros set up so that I can build packages from source as a regular user - I don't want to build as root. -- 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.
