Doc Text:	.Images now build successfully for packages in blueprint that contain conditional dependencies Previously, when using the web console to customize a blueprint with packages that contained conditional dependencies, such as `ipa-client`, `cockpit`, `podman`, would cause the build to fail because of the missing dependencies. As a consequence, the conditional dependency was not met during the dep-solve packages. This issue is fixed now, and the builds will no longer fail when dep-solving conditional dependencies.

Description Christian Heimes 2022-03-18 15:26:38 UTC

Description of problem:
I'm unable to create an image with package "ipa-client" with image builder. The build process always fails with a missing dependency. The problem is reproducible in on the hosted beta console (https://console.redhat.com/beta/insights/image-builder) as well as a self-hosted Cockpit instance in a RHEL 8.5 VM on my computer.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
osbuild-ostree-35-3.el8.noarch
osbuild-composer-33.2-1.el8.x86_64
cockpit-composer-31.1-1.el8.noarch
ostree-2021.3-2.el8_5.x86_64
ipa-client-4.9.6-6.module+el8.5.0+12661+bab6f12d

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new RHEL 8 image in Console / Cockpit's Image Builder app
2. Add "ipa-client" package

Actual results:
Build process fails with error message

error: Failed dependencies:
	(ipa-selinux if selinux-policy-targeted) is needed by ipa-common-4.9.6-6.module+el8.5.0+12661+bab6f12d.noarch

Expected results:
Image builder should succeed

Additional info:
If I add both "ipa-selinux" and "ipa-client" as packages, then the build process finishes successfully. This leads me to the assumption that osbuild or ostree do not understand the "Requires: (ipa-selinux if selinux-policy-targeted)" syntax correctly.

Comment 1 Christian Kellner 2022-03-18 15:50:08 UTC

This is a known limitation of the way we currently dep-solve packages and, quite ironically, happens also for the "osbuild" package.

Comment 3 Christian Kellner 2022-04-14 12:37:08 UTC

To give a bit more details:

The build will fail for packages that contain conditionals like `(ipa-selinux if selinux-policy-targeted)` if the "condition" (`selinux-policy-targeted`) is NOT explicitly mentioned in the blueprint but IS contained in the final image; because in this case the conditional dependency (`ipa-selinux`) will not be in the dep-solved package set since the condition is not met, but later while building the image, the condition is met since the condition is now present but we are missing the conditional dependency.

We are actively working on a different way to dep-solve to avoid this scenario.

Comment 4 Tomáš Hozza 2022-05-09 07:08:09 UTC

This issue is already fixed in the latest upstream release of osbuild-composer and should be fixed in the upcoming release of RHEL (8.7 and 9.1). The issue is already resolved in the Image Builder Service.
