Description Joachim Schnitter 2006-01-21 15:36:15 UTC 
Rebuilding xorg-x11-6.8.2-100.2.src.rpm fails. mkallcomposecaches or mkcomposecache, respectively, do not produce any outout files during the %install phase of the RPM package rebuild. I could not manage mkcomposecache to output anything when called manually, not even an error message.

This but was entered with severity set to critical because it affects patching and further development by the community.

I tried to rebuild with different settings of LANG and LC_CTYPE but to no avail. Rebuild failed with LANG set to de_DE.UTF-8, en_US.UTF-8, and unset. LC_CTYPE settings did not affect he outcome of the procedure.

Here are the last few lines from the log file:

Good catch! For whatever reason this problem does *not* happen when using SUSE's (auto)build. I've fixed this now for 10.1 Beta2 by disabling Xvfb's authentication in mkallcomposecaches.
