[opensuse-packaging] update-alternatives headaches (still..)
Hi *, today, I've stumbled upon build failures for package python-Cython and all oS distributions below 13.2, related to update-alternatives: [ 273s] calling /usr/lib/rpm/brp-suse.d/brp-25-symlink [ 273s] ERROR: link target doesn't exist (neither in build root nor in installed system): [ 273s] /usr/bin/cython -> /etc/alternatives/cython [ 273s] Add the package providing the target to neededforbuild and Requires [ 273s] ERROR: link target doesn't exist (neither in build root nor in installed system): [ 273s] /usr/bin/cygdb -> /etc/alternatives/cygdb [ 273s] Add the package providing the target to neededforbuild and Requires [ 273s] ERROR: link target doesn't exist (neither in build root nor in installed system): [ 273s] /usr/bin/cythonize -> /etc/alternatives/cythonize https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/devel:languages:python/pyt... Needless to say, this package follows closely the manual: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Multiple_Version_guidelines The reason: issues with brp-check-suse package in earlier versions. The question is, how should we workaround the issue. We can link brp-check-suse-13.2+git20140829.9539e1d, whereever the issues occur, and Preinstall it in the project, but that reveals other inconsistencies: it builds for 12.3, 13.1, fails for 12.2/i586, but succeeds for 12.2/x86_64. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:frispete:python/brp-check-suse Fix brp-25-symlink and release updated packages. Other possibilities? Pete -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

Create the %ghost files. Earlier versions of rpmbuild did require that anyway.

Okay, got it. Unfortunately, https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Multiple_Version_guidelines doesn't mention these obstacles. If I weren't that busy, I had changed it right away..
