Description Fedora Release Engineering 2023-02-20 11:43:54 UTC
a2ps failed to build from source in Fedora rawhide/f38

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=96308225


For details on the mass rebuild see:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_38_Mass_Rebuild
Please fix a2ps at your earliest convenience and set the bug's status to
ASSIGNED when you start fixing it. If the bug remains in NEW state for 8 weeks,
a2ps will be orphaned. Before branching of Fedora 39,
a2ps will be retired, if it still fails to build.

Comment 1 Zdenek Dohnal 2023-02-23 09:24:28 UTC
The FTBFS happens due this error:

6128 rm -rf $backupdir; exit $rc
6129 Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at /usr/share/texinfo/Texinfo/ParserNonXS.pm line 4354.

I contacted Vita Crhonek, the texinfo maintainer, and he found out it is texinfo bug - he fixed in rawhide for now https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2158102 and I asked him for F38 build as well.

Once texinfo is built, I'll rebuild a2ps.

Comment 2 Zdenek Dohnal 2023-02-23 11:29:02 UTC
Since we are in beta freeze, texinfo build is not currently in F38 stable repos (https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-00be94e051). IMHO a2ps is not a critical component, so the rebuild can happen once beta is released.
