[solved] question about find-provides (boost update)

[ghostbunny]

Hi Team,

i'm currently working on an update of libboost. While rpmbuild is processing the files i get this

Code: [Select]

Finde Provides: /usr/lib/rpm/mandriva/filter.sh ' ' ' ' '/home/ghostbunny/RPM/BUILDROOT/boost-1.50.0-1ghostbunny2012.i386' /usr/lib/rpm/mandriva/find-provides
tr: Schreibfehler: Datenübergabe unterbrochen (broken pipe)
tr: Schreibfehler
/usr/lib/rpm/mandriva/find-requires: Zeile 276: echo: Schreibfehler: Datenübergabe unterbrochen (broken pipe).

Sorry for the german the translation is something like

Writing error: Data transfer interrupted (broken pipe)

The packages build successfully after this message but do i have to worry about this?

Thanks in advance

regards

The packages build successfully after this message but do i have to worry about this?

Probably.  It is a shared library and so it relies on the "provides" to tell apt/synaptic when to select it as a dependency.  If the spec file has no explicit "Provides:" tag then this failure will render the library useless as it won't provide anything.  Worse still, if it were to be put the repo like this then anything that depends on libboost would be removed when users update.

You can check the final RPM with:

Code: [Select]

rpm -qp --provides <packagename>.rpm
to see if it actually providing anything.

I would need the SRPM (or at least the build log) to be able to tell why it is failing.

Terry.

Thanks Terry

for the first informations. Seems like the static devel and examples package is affected.

I will rebuild it to get a complete build log for you but this could take a bit time it is a big thing.

Edit: Rebuild done but without this message  i'm confused

i will try it again

[ghostbunny]

mh  dont know whether the build conflict with the writing the log.

but if i dont write it to a file i get the message again

above this is only some extra linking and copying of files and the compilation process. if you need it to let me know

[TerryN]

It has generated some provides in spite of the error

The list looks complete to me so whatever the error was (possibly a special character in a filename or symbol) it doesn't seem to have affected the output of the script.

If I get a chance tomorrow I'll take a closer look at it to see if I can determine the exact cause of the error but it looks OK to me.

Terry.

Ok thanks for looking into this

here is the link for the srpm if you want to build it by yourself
