good question
the change was made to fix https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10166
can you check if using --enable-shared --disable-static don't lead to dependency on devel packages ?

I'll need to build proper packages to test it. This would take some time. Now I can see that in debian they changed packaging when upgrading to schroot 1.7. They generated the following packages for schroot version 1.6 (from http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/schroot/schroot_1.6.4-4.dsc ):

Package-List: 
 dchroot deb admin optional
 dchroot-dsa deb admin optional
 libsbuild-dev deb libdevel optional
 libsbuild-doc deb doc optional
 schroot deb admin optional
 schroot-common deb admin optional
 schroot-dbg deb debug extra

and for schroot 1.7 the package list is the following (from http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/schroot/schroot_1.7.2-2.dsc ):

Package-List: 
 dchroot deb admin optional
 dchroot-dsa deb admin optional
 libsbuild-dev deb libdevel optional
 libsbuild-doc deb doc optional
 libsbuild1.7.2 deb libs optional
 libsbuild1.7.2-dbg deb debug extra
 schroot deb admin optional
 schroot-common deb admin optional

There is now separate libsbuild1.7.2 package now, so I think it is required now to use shared version of the library.

BTW debian uses cmake to build schroot and they've removed support for autotools in 1.7.1 and 1.7.2 versions. And to enable lvm-snapshot and btrfs-snapshot types of chroots they use --enable-lvm-snapshot --enable-btrfs-snapshot
options (or -Dlvm-snapshot=ON -Dbtrfs-snapshot=ON for cmake).

Created attachment 5035 [details]
Fixed/reworked spec-file

I've built the test version of schroot rpm package and tested it on my sysytem. It seems to work so I attach my spec file.

I've used schroot version 1.7.2, so I've moved build process to cmake and enabled missing btrfs and lvm features:

Tested on Mga4 32-bit.

Running schroot --version and dchroot --version before update confirmed the bug.  Running them after update gave the full listing.

Same with Mga4 64-bit.

Just seen the procedure mentioned in comment 5, I'll try to do that as well if I get time, unless someone else manages to first.

Tried Claire's procedure as per link in comment 5 on both archs.

32-bit, everything fine.
64-bit, all fine except deleting the chroot afterwards, will revisit that later this evening.

64-bit is all fine as well, don't know what happened the first time!

Update validated.

See comment 5 for advisory and SRPM.

Could sysadmin please push from core/updates_testing to core/updates.

Thank you.
