Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Björn Henkel 2010-11-25 04:17:53 UTC
Description of problem:

rebuilding autoconf-2.63-5.1.el6.src.rpm fails.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

2.63-5.1.el6

How reproducible:

Try to build autoconf on a system without xv installed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo yum remove xz
2. rpmbuild -bb autoconf.spec
  
Actual results:

> rpmbuild -ba autoconf.spec
Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.63939
+ umask 022
+ cd /tmp/rpmbuild/BUILD
+ LANG=C
+ export LANG
+ unset DISPLAY
+ cd /tmp/rpmbuild/BUILD
+ rm -rf autoconf-2.63
+ tar -xf -
+ /usr/bin/lzma -dc /tmp/rpmbuild/SOURCES/autoconf-2.63.tar.lzma
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.63939: line 31: /usr/bin/lzma: No such file or directory
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.63939 (%prep)


Expected results:

Create rpms.

Comment 4 Karsten Hopp 2010-11-25 15:25:18 UTC
Yum can't remove xz if rpm-build is installed as rpm-build requires xz and lzma. 
Please check with 'package-cleanup --problems' if there are any package dependency issues on your system. You can find that script in the yum-utils package.
