Over the weekend, tmz asked on IRC why their RHEL-6 build was
failing when it had not failed previously. The problem was that
the expat21 package was being seen in the buildroot and
over-riding the RHEL-6 expat.
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpmlist?buildrootID=15142150%20&s...
This was due to a bug in the expat21 package, but the part that I
am trying to figure out is why the following packages are shown
as "internal" in the buildroot.
expat21-2.1.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm internal
expat21-devel-2.1.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm internal
highlight-3.8-1.el6.x86_64.rpm internal
pcre2-10.21-22.el6.x86_64.rpm internal
pcre2-devel-10.21-22.el6.x86_64.rpm internal
perl-IO-Tty-1.08-3.el6.x86_64.rpm internal
The following do make sense:
epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm internal
epel-rpm-macros-6-21.noarch.rpm internal
python2-rpm-macros-3-13.el6.noarch.rpm internal
python-rpm-macros-3-13.el6.noarch.rpm internal
python-srpm-macros-3-13.el6.noarch.rpm internal
Are the above items where the buildrequires in a package are pulling
them in or is there a buildroot directive adding them?
