#63 ghost files in feature subpackages cause package builds to break on openSUSE with file conflicts

Closed: Fixed 2 years ago by zbyszek. Opened 5 years ago by ngompa.

As an example of rust-antidote being built:

[   66s] ... running 50-check-packaged-twice
[   66s] found conflict of rust-antidote+default-devel-1.0.0-1.1.noarch with rust-antidote-devel-1.0.0-1.1.noarch:
[   66s]   - /usr/share/cargo/registry/antidote-1.0.0/Cargo.toml [mode mismatch: g -644 root:root, -644 root:root -> ]

Why are we doing this in the first place? Do we need it? If not, can we get rid of it?

Interesting, it doesn't break on fedora. And I would vote that this is the bug in OBS.

So the %ghost is used to "own" the file which means that dependency generator in this subpackage will run and pull all dependencies. We could just s/%ghost // and it will work, but I don't see point of shipping that files twice or as many times as number of subpackages.

This is not specifically an OBS bug, but rather something enforced by openSUSE's build-root policy package (brp-suse) from the post-build-checks package.
