Description Klaus Kämpf 2006-02-27 20:09:13 UTC

+Prv:
locale(ja
ko
zh)
Comment 1 Ruediger Oertel 2006-02-28 00:11:42 UTC 
specification bug (or rpm bug)

rpm will unconditionally break the provides list at "," no matter if in
brackets or not.

I'm afraid we'll have to use another separator ...
Comment 2 Klaus Kämpf 2006-02-28 05:45:16 UTC 
Ouch !

I'm open to any suggestions ...
";"
"|"
"/"
Comment 3 Andreas Jaeger 2006-02-28 06:15:22 UTC 
I would use a ";"
Comment 4 Ruediger Oertel 2006-02-28 07:30:26 UTC 
that one looks ok:
testing with a quickly built hello package:
# rpm -qp --provides hello-2.1.1-317.i586.rpm
mailreader
locale(mail:aa;ab;ac)
hello = 2.1.1-317
Comment 5 Ruediger Oertel 2006-02-28 07:34:38 UTC 
looks like the affected packages are:
scim,scim-chewing,scim-input-pad,scim-m17n,scim-qtimm,
scim-tables-additional,skim
Comment 6 Andreas Jaeger 2006-02-28 07:56:32 UTC 
Found the same list.

Mike, could you change all your packages to use a ";".
Comment 7 Andreas Jaeger 2006-02-28 09:28:45 UTC 
Ok, let's go ahead with this.

Klaus, please submit a new libzypp.  Mike, please submit fixed packages asap!
Comment 8 Mike Fabian 2006-02-28 11:02:35 UTC 
All packages listed in comment #5 are fixed now (by Zhe Su and me).

Closing as fixed.
