ccs "Requires: magma-plugins" introduces circular build dependency

... %changelog * Fri Oct 22 2004 Chris Feist <cfeist@redhat.com> - Update for new upstream sources * Mon Aug 16 2004 Jon Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com> - add magma-plugins as an installation requirement * Fri Aug 13 2004 Jon Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com> - buildrequires magma-devel not magma ... Let's see, I cannot install ccs until I install magna-plugins. So I need to build magna-plugins. For that, I need to have dlm-devel installed. To install that, I need to install dlm. To install dlm, I need cman installed. To install cman, I need ccs. To install ccs, I need magna-plugins. Hmmm.... To reproduce - start with clean RHEL4, and try to build all SRPMS from: http://www.linux911.cl/GFS-CENTOS4/SRPMS/ Proposed solutions: - break some of the requirement of xxx-devel on xxx (you may need to duplicate .so files between xxx-devel and xxx packages for that), so that only xxx-devel packages need to be installed on compile servers. or: - Back out the "Requires: magna-plugins" in this package.
This has been fixed in the latest magma (1.0.1-4).
> This has been fixed in the latest magma (1.0.1-4). Thanks. Is that package (and its peers) available?
It should be available once it has been officially released.
I have just discovered the hard way that ccsd *really requires* magma-plugins. If it is not installed, you get: [root@micah1 up2date]# service ccsd start Starting ccsd: [FAILED] Looking in /var/log/messages, you get the extraordinarily useful: Jan 24 12:20:57 micah1 ccsd[19220]: Starting ccsd 1.0.2: Jan 24 12:20:57 micah1 ccsd[19220]: Built: Aug 1 2005 14:36:29 Jan 24 12:20:57 micah1 ccsd[19220]: Copyright (C) Red Hat, Inc. 2004 All rights reserved.

No Daemon:: SET Process 19227 detached strace -eopen -f ccsd -n is the first thing that starts to give a vague inkling of what's going on here, ending with: Process 19231 attached [pid 19231] open("/lib64/magma", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) Process 19231 detached Process 19230 detached The lack of a required dependency is a bug, but the lack of logging is criminal.
