Hi,
It's currently impossible to submit packages from Base:System due to repo-checker blocking submissions as base packages suddenly require krb5.
This is due to a change in libtirpc, that creates a huge cycle. As I'm protecting Factory from having that cycle too, I block such updates. Unfortunately the check hits other packages in the cycle too, so this means: unless this change is reverted, it won't be possible to submit base packages.
Greetings, Stephan
Do really understand much of this, but I'll tell you what I know.
1/ libtirpc doesn't work properly without the recent change. It causes rpc.gssd to crash whenever someone tries to perform a secure NFS mount. 2/ nfs-utils is in Base:System and it already depends on krb5 so I don't understand why this introduces a new dependency.
(just FYI libtirpc is used only by nfs-client, nfs-kernel-server, pam, autofs and rpcbind)
So I don't understand what the problem is, or why there is a problem or what sort of approach might fix it. So I cannot be much help here.
The problem is that pam is used in *every* build environment and so is libtirpc. So if you add further dependencies to libtirpc, you also add more to *every* build environment. And I don't think that pam requires kerberos - it just doesn't make sense. So I understand that you need that fix for secure NFS mounts, but you don't understand the price tag of that fix. Can we perhaps split either pam or libtirpc's functionality into 2 spec files or do you see any other option?
