==== gdk-pixbuf ====

Subpackages: gdk-pixbuf-lang gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer libgdk_pixbuf-2_0-0 typelib-1_0-GdkPixbuf-2_0
- Update to version 2.42.11:
  + Disable fringe loaders by default.
  + Introspection fixes.
  + Updated translations.
Are .xpm files fringe? With this update, gkrellm just fails to start
because it uses .xpm files a lot.
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1223903
The bugzilla also contains the fix I'm now using in my branched package.
fwiw: it also breaks using createrepo for maintaining local repos.
Are you sure? I use createrepo_c myself for all my local repos, but did
not see an issue there. According to "rpm -q createrepo_c -R" it does
not use any of the pixbuf related packages - I would be astonished if it
would.
What failure do you see?
I got:
  New and old repodata match, not updating.
ran with -vvv and do not see problem and still fails
removed ./repodata/
and subsequent run was successful
refreshed repos
added pkg to local repo and ran:
  createrepo -u drktbl /data/work/ --update
and again see:
  New and old repodata match, not updating.
again remove ./repodata/
and succeeds
I assume it has a problem comparing xml files due to gdk-pixbuf
but ???
No, I would assume an issue with your download.opensuse.org mirrors.
If you really think, I'd suggest you open another bugzilla for this!
