syslinux-perl is sub-package of syslinux. I was able to build the rpm after taking out the dependency and didn't get any errors, but I can't judge if it's necessary or not. syslinux-perl was built as part of syslinux: https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/buildinfo?buildID=2110121 but was not pushed to any repos from what we can tell. changing component to redhat-logos. syslinux-perl ships with a utility called ppmtolss16 which converts a boot splash graphic from one kind of bitmap to another kind of bitmap. It's needed for syslinux. redhat-logos used to call ppmtolss16 during its build process, but these days we just ship the converted bitmap directly. So we can drop the build dependency I will close this for RHEL 9 so we won't regress. |
Receiving error while building "redhat-logos-84.5-1.el8.src.rpm ================================================================= The command "rpmbuild -ba redhat-logos.spec" returns with: error: Failed build dependencies: syslinux-perl is needed by redhat-logos-84.5-1.el8.x86_64 ================================================================ I have checked with Backline(Steven Gardner-gsound) and he has mentioned the following. ~~~ I checked the spec file, and yes the spec file does claim that syslinux-perl is required to build the rpm. I also attempted to build myself and got the same error. But I'm not 100% sure if the spec file is actually correct, maybe the spec file is just wrong. Regardless, if the spec file requires it to build then we need to offer the package in some repo somewhere. ~~~
