Assigning to all packagers collectively, since there is no maintainer for gnutls

Hi again, w unruh,

Thank you for having taken the needed time to report this issue!

We regret if this issue didn't get fixed.

Closing as OLD, because Mageia 5 has officially reached its End of Life on December 31st, 2017 https://blog.mageia.org/en/2017/11/07/mageia-5-eol-postponed/
It only continued to get important security updates since then, but non-security bugs have no chance of still getting fixed.

I don't see the same issue in cauldron and doubt it'll exist in Mageia 6. Please reopen this report if this bug does exist in Mageia 6, and set the Version (near the top, at the left) to "6"

Thanks,

Marja

The problem was that lib64gnutls-devel-3.2.21-1.4.mga5 did not have a Requires for lib64gnutls-xssl0 package so that the file to which this link pointed was not installed. 
The structure in Mageia 6 seems to be different and neither this link nor package lib64gnutls-xssl* to which this link points seem to exist at all.

Thanks :-)

It seems I forgot to close this report, doing so now.

Resolution: (none) => OLD
Status: NEW => RESOLVED
