Description Dr. Werner Fink 2024-05-27 10:51:47 UTC

The package psmisc does not build anymore due to

[   21s] el.1po: 92 translated messages.
[   21s] /usr/bin/msgfmt: Cannot convert from "ISO-8859-1" to "UTF-8". msgfmt relies on iconv(). This version was built without iconv().


means msgfmt from gettext-runtime is missing the major feature iconv(3)

Comment 1 Dr. Werner Fink 2024-05-27 10:55:30 UTC

Seems to be a regression due to an update of gettext(-runtime)

considering the package psmisc builds perfectly fail in Factory (it's part of Ring1 after all) I am convinced nothing in Factory is responsible for the breakage - it must be limited to something in the devel project (Base:System)

most likely glibc - which is just undergoing some rework in this area

Comment 5 Dr. Werner Fink 2024-05-27 11:33:15 UTC

unresolvable: nothing provides /usr/sbin/iconvconfig needed by glibc-gconv-modules-extra, nothing provides /usr/sbin/iconvconfig needed by glibc-gconv-modules-extra


The same I see at build if I require at build time glibc-gconv-modules-extra
... but the binary exists

Comment 6 Andreas Schwab 2024-05-27 11:48:28 UTC

FileProvides: /usr/sbin/iconvconfig glibc

Comment 7 Dr. Werner Fink 2024-05-27 11:53:26 UTC

I've added

   FileProvides: /usr/sbin/install-info glibc

for project config of Base:System for Factory and Tumbleweed
