Description Fedora Fails To Install 2026-01-14 19:09:41 UTC
Hello,

Please note that this comment was generated automatically by https://pagure.io/releng/blob/main/f/scripts/ftbfs-fti/follow-policy.py
If you feel that this output has mistakes, please open an issue at https://pagure.io/releng/

Your package (supercollider) Fails To Install in Fedora 44:

can't install supercollider:
  - nothing provides libboost_program_options.so.1.83.0()(64bit) needed by supercollider-3.13.0-3.fc43.x86_64
  - nothing provides libboost_filesystem.so.1.83.0()(64bit) needed by supercollider-3.13.0-3.fc43.x86_64
  - nothing provides libboost_thread.so.1.83.0()(64bit) needed by supercollider-3.13.0-3.fc43.x86_64
  
If you know about this problem and are planning on fixing it, please acknowledge so by setting the bug status to ASSIGNED. If you don't have time to maintain this package, consider orphaning it, so maintainers of dependent packages realize the problem.


If you don't react accordingly to the policy for FTBFS/FTI bugs (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Fails_to_build_from_source_Fails_to_install/), your package may be orphaned in 8+ weeks.


P.S. The data was generated solely from koji buildroot, so it might be newer than the latest compose or the content on mirrors. To reproduce, use the koji/local repo only, e.g. in mock:

    $ mock -r fedora-44-x86_64 --config-opts mirrored=False install supercollider


P.P.S. If this bug has been reported in the middle of upgrading multiple dependent packages, please consider using side tags: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Updates_Policy/#updating-inter-dependent-packages

Thanks!

Comment 1 Jonathan Wakely 2026-01-15 11:36:35 UTC
FTBFS in rawhide:
SuperCollider-3.13.0-Source/external_libraries/nova-tt/nova-tt/spin_lock.hpp:101:12: error: ‘uint8_t’ in namespace ‘boost’ does not name a type

I don't know why the code uses boost::uint8_t when uint8_t has been standard for many years.

I tried to fix it, but I can't even extract the source tree for this package:

$ fedpkg prep
error: %patchN is obsolete, use %patch N (or %patch -P N): %patch0 -p1 -b .sndfile110


Parsing specfile for used sources failed. Falling back to downloading all sources.

Oops, that should be <cstdint>

I'm an idiot, I need to git pull before I try using fedpkg.

Comment 5 Jonathan Wakely 2026-01-15 16:08:47 UTC
There's an upstream change for the Asio changes in Boost 1.87.0 but it's quite invasive and applies to a much newer release than we have in Fedora:
https://github.com/supercollider/supercollider/pull/6576

Comment 6 Jonathan Wakely 2026-01-15 16:30:24 UTC
Actually not *that* much newer, they just make upstream releases quite often.

That also needs this follow-up:
https://github.com/supercollider/supercollider/pull/6590

It would certainly be easier to just update rawhide to a current release, which already has these changes.

Comment 7 Fedora Fails To Install 2026-01-22 11:22:36 UTC
Hello,

If you feel that this output has mistakes, please open an issue at https://pagure.io/releng/

This package fails to install and maintainers are advised to take one of the following actions:

 - Fix this bug and close this bugzilla once the update makes it to the repository.
   (The same script that posted this comment will eventually close this bugzilla
   when the fixed package reaches the repository, so you don't have to worry about it.)

or

 - Move this bug to ASSIGNED if you plan on fixing this, but simply haven't done so yet.

or

 - Orphan the package if you no longer plan to maintain it.


If you do not take one of these actions, the process at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Fails_to_build_from_source_Fails_to_install/#_package_removal_for_long_standing_ftbfs_and_fti_bugs will continue.
This package may be orphaned in 7+ weeks.
This is the first reminder (step 3) from the policy.

Don't hesitate to ask for help on https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/ if you are unsure how to fix this bug.

Comment 9 Tristan Cacqueray 2026-02-25 08:18:51 UTC
Here is a scratch build for the latest release: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=142734389 . If that goes well I'll fedpkg push.
Thank you for the report, sorry for the delay!

Comment 10 Tristan Cacqueray 2026-02-25 08:48:57 UTC
Alas, the project now uses git submodules... Now trying to figure-out how to package them.

Comment 11 Tristan Cacqueray 2026-02-25 13:31:32 UTC
Ok, the submodules are actually included in the source tarball, it's their paths that changed in the last release. Here is a successful scratch build: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=142739705 and I pushed the fix to the distgit.

Comment 12 Miro Hrončok 2026-03-17 13:47:43 UTC
Tristan, due to the process, this package was orphaned right now as this was never built and fixed.

You might want to claim the package and actually build it to fix this.

Comment 13 Fedora Fails To Install 2026-03-18 14:39:32 UTC
This package has been orphaned.

You can pick it up at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/supercollider by clicking button "Take". If nobody picks it up, it will be retired and removed from a distribution.

Comment 14 Fedora Admin user for bugzilla script actions 2026-03-19 12:11:13 UTC
This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.

Comment 15 Miro Hrončok 2026-03-24 18:44:35 UTC
Automation has figured out the package is retired in rawhide.

If you like it to be unretired, please open a ticket at https://forge.fedoraproject.org/releng/tickets/issues/new?template=.forgejo%2fISSUE_TEMPLATE%2funretire-package.md
