Description Giuseppe Gorgoglione 2014-11-23 11:42:56 UTC

In Tumbleweed 20141120 libicu was updated from version 53 to version 54, but open-vm-tools package was not rebuilt.

Now, installing TW from scratch on a VMWare virtual box, open-vm-tools package is discarded from base system, and trying to install it through zypper, a warning about missing libicu53 dependencies is displayed.

I got this same issue in previous milestones, beta releases, and now in TW, so my guess is that the build system is missing an explicit dependency rule.

Comment 1 Bernhard Wiedemann 2014-11-23 19:56:04 UTC

@coolo: are we still having reduced rebuilds in Factory/Tumbleweed?
That could explain such effects.

Comment 2 Dominique Leuenberger 2014-11-24 09:16:12 UTC

The problem is not the rebuilding, but the fact that open-vm-tools currently fails to build in Factory:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/openSUSE:Factory/open-vm-tools/standard/i586

As soon as this issue is fixed (actually, bug 905420), this will all be good.
This bug, as such, is invalid.

I agree, in fact after filing the bug I checked the spec file into open-vm-tools-9.4.0-5.1.src.rpm and the dependency was actually there, sorry.

The latest upstream version is open-vm-tools-9.4.6-1770165, maybe it will help.
