Hi all, Package qbittorrent needs a rebuild since boost 1.77 was checked in, currently available version in Factory is still built against 1.76 and crashes: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1191150 But mostly why I posting on the list is to understand why this was not automatic, the package has an explicit BuildRequires on boost (libboost_system-devel >= 1.65). Is this a build system bug, an oversight, or a misunderstanding? Tejas

But mostly why I posting on the list is to understand why this was not automatic, the package has an explicit BuildRequires on boost (libboost_system-devel >= 1.65). Is this a build system bug, an oversight, or a misunderstanding? The easiest is to require the boost version it was compiled against - as Jan writes in the bug this is normally done through library dependencies. But if it's known to be a

Easy but fragile: this hack requires that there is _at most_ one provider for the symbol you are asking for. openSUSE:Factory has just one boost source package right now, but it is SLPP-conforming, so somebody could legitimately submit openSUSE:Factory/boost1_76, thereby accidentally satisfying qbittorrent's boost-license=1.76 and thus inhibiting its rebuild.
