Expected results:

running the utop from terminal works fine.

Comment 1 Jerry James 2021-07-16 14:37:26 UTC

It looks like something now wants META files at runtime.  Many ocaml packages put the META files into -devel subpackages, but it appears that is not a viable option for ocaml-mew-vi, at least.  The temporary workaround for your issue is to install ocaml-mew-vi-devel, which has the META file.  I'll move META into the main package.

Thanks for your suggestion, after installing ocaml-mew-vi-devel, ocaml-seq-devel, ocaml-ocplib-endian-devel, utop finally works.

Comment 3 Jerry James 2021-07-16 17:37:20 UTC

I've passed word on to the ocaml-seq and ocaml-ocplib-endian maintainers that they need to make this change as well.  Hopefully this will all be cleared up soon.  Thank you for reporting the issue.

I have moved META to the main package for ocaml-trie, ocaml-mew, and ocaml-mew-vi.  I'm going to close this bug since the ocaml-mew-vi issue has been addressed in Rawhide.
