Description Kristoffer Grundström 2021-12-26 20:41:27 CET 
Description of problem: It's unreasonable that other dists offer systemd for i586 architecture (Isn't their i686 architecture supposed to be 32 bit as well?) whilst Mageia doesn't. I'm trying to build whatsapp-for-linux and as I run sudo urpmi whatsapp-for-linux.spec to install libayatana-appindicator3-devel it fails by saying this:

A requested package cannot be installed:
libdbus-devel-1.13.18-3.mga8.i586 (due to unsatisfied systemd-devel-246.9-5.mga8.i586)
While some packages may have been installed, there were failures.
A requested package cannot be installed:
libdbus-devel-1.13.18-3.mga8.i586 (due to unsatisfied systemd-devel-246.9-5.mga8.i586)

I have my 32 bit medias added and they are enabled in edit-urpm-sources.pl.

These are my medias atm:

Core Release
Core Release Debug
Core Updates
Core Updates Debug
Core 32bit Release
Core 32bit Updates

Unless I'm missing a media it should be installable.

I also doublechecked with https://pkgs.org/download/systemd and of the rpm based distros that are listed there Alma, CentOS, Fedora 35 & Rawhide, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and lastly Rocky Linux all offer a i686 version of systemd. 

This hinders porting programs from other dists.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 246.16-1

How reproducible: All the time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure you have added 32 bit medias and that they are enabled.
2. Open a terminal window.
3. Login as root or use sudo.
4. Type urpmi libayatana-appindicator3-devel --auto and wait for the error message.

I even switched to manually using the SE mirror to see if it's a mirror not syncing and these are my medias now:

The right version of systemd-devel is missing

As I suspected, the version systemd-devel-246.9-5.mga8.i586 isn't in the ftp.acc.umu.se mirror. Can it therefor be pushed?

Summary: No systemd for the i586 arch can be found in Mageia, but is found in Fedora and CentOS? => systemd-devel-246.9-5.mga8.i586 cannot be seen in ftp.acc.umu.se or by urpmq -i systemd-devel

Comment 8 Dave Hodgins 2021-12-27 18:30:51 CET 
ftp://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/mageia/distrib/8/i586/media/core/release/systemd-devel-246.9-5.mga8.i586.rpm is there.

What does "urpmq --list-media active" show?

You have to uninstall the 64bit systemd-devel package, so that you can install the 32bit one. It's that easy.

FYI the error does not claim that there's a conflict between the packages. If there was, maybe the output should be shown differently because now it's just confusing.

I'll test your idea though.
Comment 12 Kristoffer Grundström 2021-12-29 11:11:37 CET 
And as I search for systemd-devel in rpmdrake I can still only see the x86_64 package for it.
Comment 13 Kristoffer Grundström 2021-12-29 11:52:46 CET 
I believe that the issue lies with the hdlist.

I can't seem to extract it though.
