Description Kristoffer Grundström 2020-12-14 22:58:39 CET 
Description of problem: I took the liberty of building the latest libseccomp WITH the addition of libseccomp-static as it contains libseccomp.a which is needed to build snapd in Mageia.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.5.1

Comment 2 Kristoffer Grundström 2020-12-14 23:09:13 CET 
The installation of said package will fail with this error:

Installation failed:	file /usr/lib64/libseccomp.so.2 from the installation of libseccomp-2.5.1-1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package lib64seccomp2-2.5.0-1.mga7.x86_64

I honestly don't know how to solve that.
Comment 3 David Walser 2020-12-15 01:34:47 CET 
We've managed to build snapd without it (no we won't be providing it), so it's obviously not needed.  In general for the most part, we don't provide static libraries.

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

Comment 4 Kristoffer Grundström 2020-12-15 02:12:24 CET 
Forgive me for saying this, but https://pkgs.org/download/snapd shows no snapd for Mageia.

If you take a look at the Fedora version they seem to need libseccomp-static to build snapd.

How come our approach is different from their way with the same package if we both use RPM?
Comment 5 Kristoffer Grundström 2020-12-15 02:16:43 CET 
Even CentOS uses libseccomp-static to build it.
Comment 6 David Walser 2020-12-15 17:02:00 CET 
We are not Fedora/CentOS.  I already said that we won't be providing the snapd package that we had built.
