Description of problem: The sylpheed-claws-plugins has broken dependencies, and has for the last 61+ days. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.3.0-2.fc4 How reproducible: Try and install the version of the package in fc4. It won't install. From the broken dependency report: sylpheed-claws-plugins-etpan-privacy - 2.3.0-2.fc4.i386 (61 days) sylpheed-claws-plugins-etpan-privacy - 2.3.0-2.fc4.ppc (61 days) sylpheed-claws-plugins-etpan-privacy - 2.3.0-2.fc4.x86_64 (61 days) sylpheed-claws-plugins-etpan-privacy-2.3.0-2.fc4.ppc requires libetpan.so.6 There is a current version (2.6.0-1.fc4) checked into CVS and tagged, but it won't build. The vcalendar plugin ignores the --disable-static flag, and builds a .a archive. When the package tries to gather debuginfo from this archive it fails because strip in fc4 can't handle .a files with other .a files in them. The solution should be (for not only fc4 but the other versions of the package) to remove all the .a files and not ship them. Something like the following diff should work: diff -r1.19 sylpheed-claws-plugins.spec 19c19 < Release: 1%{?dist} --- > Release: 2%{?dist} 358a359 > find ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT} -type f -name "*.a" -exec rm -f {} ';' 528a530,533 > * Sat Dec 02 2006 Kevin Fenzi <kevin> > 2.6.0-2 > - Remove .a libraries to fix build issue on fc4 > Note that you should also update fc5/fc6/devel as well to keep the E-V-R happy for upgrades.
Ah I was wondering why it was failing on fc4 strip... I will see that this gets a rebuild asap so that deps script is happy again ^^ Thanks for reporting.
