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 Calvin Webster 2012-10-16 21:26:23 UTC 
Description of problem:

tigervnc source RPM is missing BuildRequires for xmlto-tex.

rpmbuild of the source RPM will not complain but fails when attempting to build docs.


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

From base install:
tigervnc-1.0.90-0.17.20110314svn4359


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Ensure that the "xmlto-tex" pkg is not installed:

yum remove xmlto-tex

2. Attempt to build tigervnc source RPM in a properly setup rpmbuild build environment, resolving all cited build dependencies:

cd ~/rpmbuild
wget http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Server/en/os/SRPMS/tigervnc-1.0.90-0.17.20110314svn4359.el6.src.rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild tigervnc-1.0.90-0.17.20110314svn4359.el6.src.rpm

  
Actual results:

Build fails while constructing docs, looking for "/usr/share/xmlto/format/docbook/../fo/pdf".

rpmbuild should result in production of 5 binary and 1 source RPMs:

After patching the spec file, rpmbuild properly raises a dependency error:

After installing the xmlto-tex package, rpmbuild results in an error-free build and complete set of RPMS, as indicated above.
Comment 2 Adam Tkac 2012-10-22 13:21:16 UTC 
I assume that you have "doxygen" package installed. Since this pkg is not automatically installed in the minimal tigervnc build root, I'm able to build tigervnc successfully.

I think you can add "--without-doxygen" flag to xserver's ./configure to build tigervnc successfully without xmlto-tex dependency.

In any case, this is not a bug and I'm able to build tigervnc without doxygen pkg installed. Closing.
Comment 3 Calvin Webster 2012-10-26 17:30:48 UTC 
Sorry, I was going on the assumption that if a source RPM should contain BuildRequires for whatever is required to build without error. This SRPM does not cite either doxygen or xmlto-tex as dependencies. 

In previous EL versions, this functionality was all contained within the "xmlto" package, which it seems gets installed with the basic developer tools. Not so with xmlto-tex because it was split off of the main package apparently in F10, according to "Ondrej Vasik" in comment #2 of bug 462553 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462553#c1). 

I realize that your build environment for EL has everything it needs so this isn't a problem for Red Hat builds. Red Had doesn't gain much by fixing this so I understand. I was just trying to make you all aware that it will not build with currently stated build dependencies. This is not a demand, just FYI.
Comment 4 Ondrej Vasik 2012-10-27 15:18:46 UTC 
Thanks for report - actually it would be good to fix the tigervnc spec file or configure script in Fedora to prevent such failures in future.

In fact, all build requires are present on the system - and documentation is not rebuilt on the build system for RHEL - as with minimal build root everything is fine - however with more packages installed - the tigervnc configure script checks only for xmlto and doxygen - and assumes that everything is fine for rebuilding documentation - and this is not true - and build fails.
Comment 5 Adam Tkac 2012-10-29 12:17:39 UTC 
Ok, we can fix the tigervnc package to build fine when doxygen is installed and xmlto-tex isn't. Reopening.
Comment 7 RHEL Program Management 2013-10-14 00:22:30 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this
request at this time.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 8 Tim Waugh 2014-05-23 12:14:54 UTC 
This was fixed as part of 1.1.0-2, by adding "--disable-docs --disable-devel-docs" to the xserver configure line.
