Thanks for the report. Fedora Core 3 already has this, and future versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux also will. (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 does not ship with libieee1284.) |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.3) Gecko/20040924 Description of problem: The ./configure script of sane-backends checks for the availability of the ieee1284 development libraries (ieee1284-devel.rpm) and, depending on the outcome of this, decides on the inclusion of various drivers for parallel port scanners in the build process. So, in short, if the build system *does have* libieee1284-devel.rpm installed, sane-backends.rpm will contain the parallel port scanner drivers, and if the build system *does not have* libieee1284-devel installed, it will not include these drivers. Obviously the accidental availability of a certain library on the build system should not be a major factor in determining the outcome of the rpm build process, so somehow this should be made explicit. As far as I am concerned, libieee-1284-devel should be a prerequisite for the build process of sane-backends.rpm. And, logically, this leads to a prerequisite of libieee1284.rpm for the installation of sane-backends. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sane-backends-1.0.9-5.7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install sane-backends.i386.rpm. Check availability of file (for instance) /usr/lib/sane/libsane_canon_pp.so.1. Is not there. 2. Uninstall sane-backends. 3. Install libieee1284.rpm and libieee1284-devel.rpm 4. Install sane-backends.src.rpm 5. rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/sane-backends.spec 6. Install /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/sane-backends.i386.rpm 7. Check for availability of /usr/lib/sane/libsane_canon_pp.so.1. Is now there. Actual Results: See above. Expected Results: See above. Additional info: See above.
