Description Paul Howarth 2006-06-06 16:08:02 UTC
This package fails to build in mock if the minimal build group is reduced to
only the packages listed in the Exceptions section of the packaging guidelines.
 build.log is attached.

This can be fixed by adding a buildreq of gettext

Build log with minimal environment

Comment 2 Pawel Salek 2006-06-06 17:34:39 UTC
Is it only balsa that fails? It looks to me as a problem with the building
environment, rather. I see in the log a following sequence:

Making install in po
make[1]: Entering directory `/builddir/build/BUILD/balsa-2.3.12/po'
/builddir/build/BUILD/balsa-2.3.12/install-sh -d
/var/tmp/balsa-2.3.12-1.fc6-root-mockbuild/usr/share
if test "balsa" = "glib"; then \
	  /builddir/build/BUILD/balsa-2.3.12/install-sh -d
/var/tmp/balsa-2.3.12-1.fc6-root-mockbuild/usr/share/glib-2.0/gettext/po; \
	  /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./Makefile.in.in \
			 
/var/tmp/balsa-2.3.12-1.fc6-root-mockbuild/usr/share/glib-2.0/gettext/po/Makefile.in.in;
\
	else \
	  : ; \
	fi
make[1]: Leaving directory `/builddir/build/BUILD/balsa-2.3.12/po'
But there appears to be a missing chunk that installs the .po files.

I have seen some reports on fedora-devel that current rawhide is broken. I am
tempted to wait few days until the smoke clears.

> Is it only balsa that fails?

No, there are over a hundred failing packages. The default mock build
environment is being reduced down to the packages listed in the "Exceptions"
section of the Packaging Guidelines and their dependencies, The current mock
configuration on the buildsystem contains many more packages than this (e.g.
gettext) and packages that buildrequire any of the soon-to-be-removed packages
but don't explictly have a build dependency on them will fail to build when the
buildsystem is updated. Hence the affected packages are being tracked down now
so that they can be fixed before the big change.

Well, put it this way, I tried adding gettext as a buildreq and then the build
worked :-)



Comment 4 Pawel Salek 2006-06-06 18:47:29 UTC
It is bit strange though that lack of gettext manifests itself so late and not
eg in the configure phase when the Makefile is generated. Anyway, I have added
gettext to buildreqs and it really fixes the problem. Thanks for your report!
