From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020606 Description of problem: The GNOME2 snapshots ship both libxslt and a xsltproc packages. In rawhide, only libxslt is shipped, and /usr/bin/xsltproc is included in it. To avoid conflcts, the libxslt rpm should Provide xsltproc, and packages that depend on it (like oprofile) should depend on xsltproc instead. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Get the gnome 2 snapshots of libxslt but not xsltproc from ftp.gnome.org and install them. Then try to build the oprofile package. It'll die because it can't find xsltproc. Additional info: Once this bug is triaged, another bug against oprofile should be filed which depends on this bug so that it can depend on xsltproc instead of libxslt as a build requirement. Similar checks should be done against all other packages.
I disagree with the fact that xsltproc is isolated in a separate package in the Gnome 2 release, they should fix this, it's their problem. BTW they could have asked, after all I'm the libxslt maintainer of the Gnome project :-( Daniel
Turns out I was mistaken and looking at the wrong thing; the gnome 2 snap builds are only one package, but some internal ximian builds have two, so this is a non-issue for red hat in terms of package compatibility. (That's the reason I filed the bug, after all. Lots of people have installed the GNOME 2 snapshot RPMs) I've filed a bug in the Ximian bugzilla about it, I'll reference this bug. Thanks, sorry bout the trouble.
No problem, excellent it was solved that quickly ! Daniel
