Hi hackers and packagers,
Since this morning, a lot of packages show status 'unresolvable - nothing provides libldap-2.4.so.2()(64bit) needed by libcurl4'
The issue will settle itself, but it will take quite a moment (actually, until the next snapshot will be ready).
How did this happen: ==================== openldap2 was changed in the packaging layout; so far there were 2 spec files (openldap2 and openldap2-client). the -client part was the one building the libraries (like libldap-2_4-2). The maintainers re- organized this package and simplified it, now building everything from openldap2.spec directly. This resulted in openldap2-client being removed from openSUSE:Factory.
It happened because of a very old issue in OBS, that it removes packages from the build repository before they are no longer needed.
But it was decided that this is a very unimportant design flaw which only hits is about 3-4 times a year (since about OBS exists).
So nothing to see - move on.
It tells you at least that you forgot to build a compability package ;)
Times for compatibility packages are over - simply install the old one present in the repository (oh, wait - you've just deleted it - oops).
The problem here was different anyway, it was package rename/drop/reshuffle.
The library RPM is still called the same, just comes from a different source rpm.
Sure, but the original bug is just the same - OBS shouldn't remove packages from the build repository so eagerly but rather collect them when they are no longer necessary.
