Description Juan Magallon 2013-01-15 00:41:55 CET

werewolf:~# urpmi texlive-mf2pt1
The following packages have to be removed for others to be upgraded:
latexila-2.6.2-2.mga3.x86_64
 (due to missing rubber)
rubber-1.1-8.mga3.noarch
 (due to missing tetex)
texlive-20120701-3.mga3.x86_64
 (due to conflicts with texlive-mf2pt1-2.5.0-3.mga3.noarch)
texlive-texmf-20120701-1.mga3.noarch
 (due to conflicts with texlive-mf2pt1-2.5.0-3.mga3.noarch) (y/N)

Uh ?

Comment 1 Philippe Didier 2013-01-15 02:36:43 CET

Side effect of the mass rebuild :
texlive-mf2pt1 is a BuildRequire of mscore
but 
texlive-mf2pt1 brings one file conflicting with the same file from texlive-texmf. (/usr/share/info/mf2pt1.info.xz)

A loop appeared, sticking 2 build servers for 18 hours trying to build mscore :-(

In this emergency, the only way to stop this loop and allow to finish the mass rebuild was to add a conflicts with texlive-texmf in the spec file of texlive-mf2pt1...

texlive-texmf is a really huge rpm (520980 KB !) 

Some rpms need only a little part of the texlive project to be built : it would not be serious to have a BuildRequire of the whole texlive-texmf.rpm for them... 

texlive-mf2pt1 seems to have been such a workaround.

If you need only texlive-mf2pt1.rpm it's OK

And it was OK in Mageia2 if you needed texlive-texmf.rpm besides it : inside Mageia2 texlive-texmf didn't provide /usr/share/info/mf2pt1.info.xz  :)


In Cauldron, texlive-texmf provides /usr/share/info/mf2pt1.info.xz (why since it doesn't provide the /usr/bin/mf2pt1 binary !!??)
 

What must be done then ?

Modify the spec of texlive-texmf so that it doesn't install this file !

Ask the maintainer to do so !

Comment 2 Philippe Didier 2013-01-15 02:40:48 CET

And when this file is suppressed inside texlive-texmf.rpm
then, the conflicts line may be suppressed inside the spec file of texlive-mf2pt1...

Comment 3 Philippe Didier 2013-01-15 02:46:25 CET

PS
texlive-texmf maintainer is dmorgan
texlive-mf2pt1 maintainer is spuhler

maybe they must be added to the cclist

(most of the time add the mageia nick on the cc or assigned fields works ;) )

Comment 5 Thomas Spuhler 2013-01-19 01:40:20 CET

texlive-mf2pt1 isn't needed anymore by mscore.
I will remove it
dmorgan, would you put an obsolete into texlive-texmf
and I will move the package to svn obsolete

ping...
we're close to release, I have just tested today and this bug is still valid for me.

For the texlive masters, checkout this bug too:

Cheers,
Chris.
