Description of problem: Severn with many rawhide updates. Building rpm-4.2.1-0.30 on my Athlon 800 fails. See attached build logs. $ rpmbuild -ba rpm.spec 2>&1 | tee rpm.build.log and # rpmbuild --rebuild rpm-4.2.1-0.30.src.rpm 2>&1 | tee rpm.rebuild.log both fail in the same way.
Created attachment 94542 [details] Build log for rpm
The problem was just a missing elfutils-devel rpm. Built fine after elfutils-devel was added. You might want to add a BuildRequires elfutils-devel.
The buildrequires is needed, but cannot be added until a decision is made with respect to releasing elfutils packages for Red Hat 8.0 and 7.3. Otherwise rpm cannot be released for those versions of RHL.
NEEDIFO pending dependency. WONTFIX if elfutils is not released for 8.0 and 7.3.
Since RHL 8.0 and RHL 7.3 are EOL maybe now is the time to add this BuildRequires (for the upcoming FC2).
The build dependency has been there quite a while.
