Description Roozbeh Pournader 2005-09-11 16:21:58 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050602 Red Hat/1.7.8-0.90.1.legacy

Description of problem:
desktop-file-utils-0.10-1.src.rpm would not build without having emacs installed, but doesn't mention that emacs is required to build the package.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
desktop-file-utils-0.10-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start with an emacs-less machine, or uninstall emacs ('yum remove emacs')
2. rpm -ivh desktop-file-utils-0.10-1.src.rpm
3. cd rpmbuild/SPECS (or wherever the spec files are)
4. rpmbuild -ba desktop-file-utils.spec


Actual Results:  The build process start and fails after a while with a hard to decipher error message, ending in:

error: File not found: /var/tmp/desktop-file-utils-root/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp


Expected Results:  It should fail with a clear error message mentioning the requirement of emacs to build the package.

Hi Roozbeh,

This is already fixed in Rawhide.  It doesn't seem like a good candidate for a
FC4 update, though. Rawhide and FC-4 currently ship the same version of
desktop-file-utils.
