#3900 EPEL 4 builds look to be broken for me, no perl-Archive-Tar is present.
Closed: Fixed None Opened 13 years ago by stevetraylen.

Hi,

I have a failed build on EPEL4 which looks like a problem with koji repositories:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2346211
and in particular
{{{
DEBUG util.py:255: Error: Package: grid-packaging-tools-3.2-20.el4.noarch (build)
DEBUG util.py:255: Requires: perl(Archive::Tar)
DEBUG util.py:255: You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
}}}

looking at the last EPEL4 repo build.

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2343305

I can't see any mention of perl-Archive-Tar being added but on a CentOS 4 box.
{{{

yum list perl-Archive-Tar

Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Available Packages
perl-Archive-Tar.noarch 1.39.1-1.el4_8.1 update
}}}
and older version is in base as well.

Steve.


Still the same situation here.

Looks like

perl-Archive-Tar

is blocked in EPEL4.

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=193

Question is why?

My guess is that it should either never have been built in EPEL for .el4 or
that it used to be needed but is no longer since more recent 4.X releases
contain perl-Archive-Tar

Whatever a package being blocked in koji has the affect of not only blocking
any builds but also blocking the package from being added to it in from the
external repository.

I think the solution is to remove the tag from the build.

Steve.

should be available now to build against

Thanks Chris,

That looks to have done it.

Steve.

no idea who chris is but your welcome
