Description Frédéric Bérat 2024-01-04 13:18:44 UTC

This component fails to build with a new version of autoconf.
The build failure is due to a test against the configure script header:

Checking the Net-SNMP configure script validity ......................... 
not ok 1 - found 0 copies of '^# Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.71 for Net-SNMP' in output (/builddir/build/BUILD/net-snmp-5.9.4/testing/fulltests/support/../../../configure); expected 1
Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
Failed 1/2 subtests 

Please fix the component test so that it becomes more robust against autoconf updates.

Autoconf 2.72 will likely be released next week in Rawhide. The provided link to the failure will be destroyed at that time.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Josef Ridky 2024-01-05 10:15:06 UTC

This test is intentionally incorporated by upstream. Do you have some side-tag, where the modified version of net-snmp might be build? Otherwise I'll rebuild the package once autoconf is released.

Comment 2 Frédéric Bérat 2024-01-05 11:25:48 UTC

What is the actual purpose of this test, that doesn't seem really useful as it stands ?

Rebuilding the package when autoconf is officially available is likely enough considering the impact is only at build time.

Comment 3 Josef Ridky 2024-01-09 07:58:06 UTC

For upstream it's the simplest check for autoconf update and ensure they have all tweaks correctly set for expected autoconf version.

Comment 4 Aoife Moloney 2024-02-15 23:08:51 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 40 development cycle.
Changing version to 40.

Comment 5 Frédéric Bérat 2024-02-16 06:36:14 UTC

Autoconf 2.72 has been merged into rawhide.
