[opensuse-packaging] How to fix generic-name-not-in-filelist RPMLINT warning
Hi! My "fbreader" package [1] uses "update-alternative" mechanism, here is a spec snippet: /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --install \ %{_libdir}/zlibrary/ui/zlui-active.so \ zlibrary-ui \ %{_libdir}/zlibrary/ui/zlui-gtk.so \ 2 When I build it in OBS the following warning is shown:
zlibrary-ui-gtk.x86_64: W: generic-name-not-in-filelist /usr/lib64/zlibrary/ui/zlui-active.so zlibrary-ui-qt.x86_64: W: generic-name-not-in-filelist /usr/lib64/zlibrary/ui/zlui-active.so The generic name is not in a filelist of package, add it to list marked as %ghost. Note: this error will be raised, if you use a hash ($) in file name, use rpm macros in spec file instead.
To fix it according to [2], I have added the following lines: touch %{buildroot}%{_libdir}/zlibrary/ui/zlui-active.so ghost %{_libdir}/zlibrary/ui/zlui-active.so But this just results in four warnings instead of two which I don't know how to fix:

Any solutions, please?

Hrm, interesting, it's a case where a simple "touch" won't work as intended, indeed. Maybe just create a link to zlui-gtk.so and keep marking the file as %ghost?

Thank you for suggestion, but it seems that it is a bug in RPMLINT which affects oS 11.4 builds: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=700067 My package is built fine for oS:Factory, so I'll ignore this warning for 11.4 repository. -- Kirill Kirillov <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
