Description Binand Sethumadhavan 2005-03-21 20:21:53 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1

Description of problem:
Mgetty SRPM has a number of buildrequires which are not mentioned in the specfile. The errors are apparent only very late in the build process.

imake: from XFree86-devel
gccmakedep: from XFree86-devel, but due to a bug in that package (#132121), Mgetty needs XFree86 as well.
tetex-dvips: For dvips, which is used to build mgetty.ps from mgetty.dvi in the doc subdirectory of the source tree. Without this, the %doc processing of the package fails.

Mgetty SRPM is needed to build mgetty+sendfax; as even in U4 I cannot see mgetty-sendfax package in my satellite (#112034).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.1.30-3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. download Mgetty SRPM from ftp.redhat.com
2. rpmbuild --rebuild mgetty-*.src.rpm
3. wait for the build to fail.
  

Actual Results:  Mgetty build fails

Expected Results:  brand new mgetty-*.i386.rpm's

I will add the buildrequires for tetex-dvips to the next release. 

But is the root problem that the mgetty-sendfax package is not in RHN ?

All mgetty subpackages are submitted to our RHEL-3 distribution and 
should be on the RHEL-3 CD ISOs. 

I've contacted the RHN team to ensure that they on on RHN also.

If you are having a problem accessing the mgetty RPMS, they can all be
downloaded from:

Here is how RHN looks like right now (9:50 PM EST, 3/21/2005).

Comment 4 Dennis Gregorovic 2005-03-24 05:20:48 UTC
bug #112034 covers the issue of the mgetty sub-packages not being in RHEL 3 (I
just reopened it). Let's keep this ticket focused of the BuildRequires issues.
