So I should file this as a bug against factory or tumbleweed? There was some disagreement about whether or not they should be treated the same?
This is a bug against Factory, but for reference: Factory and Tumbleweed are one and the same.
Because these utils 'should' be statically linkable and *are* on redhat (which I thought opensuse was based on). So how did static linking get broken for us but still work for redhat?
While it is true that SuSE Linux was very similar to Red Hat Linux (and openSUSE today is somewhat similar to Fedora), there is technically no common ancestry. SuSE Linux (which is the common ancestor of openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise) is technically a derivative of Slackware. Over the course of the 90s, SuSE adopted many characteristics from Red Hat Linux (including the RPM package manager, then known as the Red Hat Package Manager), which led to the relatively compatible platform setup. There is some collaboration today between Fedora and openSUSE as we're both friends, but there are definitely differences in the platforms. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what causes your specific problem, though I can say that the openSUSE packaging for this is much more complex than the Fedora one. That makes it harder for me to pin down what's going wrong. It's probably something to do with the different compile flags. There may be a subtle incompatibility in the default openSUSE flags breaking static compilation. -- 真実はいつも一つ!/ Always, there's only one truth! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
