The current policy is that compat libs aren't required to be rebuildable, because in many cases it's virtually impossible to make them so. |
Description of Problem: A libgtkhtml9 build dependency on gal-devel prevents users from being able to build libgtkhtml9 on 7.3; gal-devel-0.8 is needed (as a build pre-req) by libgtkhtml9, but 7.3 is shipped with gal-devel-0.19.1, a later version. As such, "rpm -ba" complains of unsatisfied build dependencies and exits. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # rpm -q libgtkhtml9 libgtkhtml9-0.9.2-10 # rpm -q gal-devel gal-0.19.1-2 # md5sum libgtkhtml9-0.9.2-10.src.rpm 8cfc0231c87dd2282eaf3be4e1d78b9f libgtkhtml9-0.9.2-10.src.rpm # rpm -K libgtkhtml9-0.9.2-10.src.rpm libgtkhtml9-0.9.2-10.src.rpm: md5 gpg OK How Reproducible: 100% (always) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Perform "everything" 7.3 install 2. rpm -Uvh {7.3dist}/i386/SRPMS/libgtkhtml9-0.9.2-10.src.rpm 3. rpm -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/libgtkhtml9.spec Actual Results: # rpm -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/libgtkhtml9.spec error: failed build dependencies: gal-devel = 0.8 is needed by libgtkhtml9-0.9.2-10 Expected Results: Successful build
