http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528858 Summary: .dsc self dependency not installed for build. Eg m4 not installed when building m4 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: BuildService AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: david@dgreaves.com QAContact: adrian@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.12) Gecko/2009072221 Iceweasel/3.0.12 (Debian-3.0.12-1) In general when a package is built all the build-depends should be installed. It is reasonable to depend on the package being built. I assumed it was being removed by build or osc but traced it to the API response. eg: https://api.opensuse.org/build/home:lbt:arm:cross/xUbuntu_9.04/armv5el/m4/_b... https://api.opensuse.org/build/home:lbt:arm:cross/xUbuntu_9.04/armv5el/dpkg/... The first (m4) package does not have m4 in the <bdep> list but has dpkg-dev The second (dpkg) package does not have dpkg-dev in the <bdep> list but has m4 (dpkg provides dpkg-dev of course) This means I cannot build any build-essential packages or any other packages that self-depend to build. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. setup a repo to build xUbuntu 2. create an m4 package using the ubuntu dsc/tar.gz/patch Actual Results: Watch the build fail as m4 is not installed to pre-process the build files Expected Results: Watch the build succeed as m4 is installed to pre-process the build files Forcing the inclusion of m4 using -xm4 results in success. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
