Attention: rpm 4.12-alpha build bug
Executive summary: a bug in package generation of rpm 4.12, presumably
related to hardlinked files has been spotted. I've untagged 4.12 while
we're investigating, some packages might need a rebuild because of this.
If you haven't built packages for rawhide today, you can probably stop
reading.
e2fsprogs-1.42.10-4.fc21 (builder/owner cc'd) is known to be slightly
broken because of this and I've untagged that as well, a rebuild will be
needed. Other packages (less than two dozen or so) *might* be affected
if you've built something for rawhide in the last four hours or so, but
the exact issue is not known yet so dont know...
The manifests in files missing from package payload, which rpm 4.12 will
actually notice during install:
[root@localhost rpm]# rpm -Uvh --nodeps --noscripts --root /tmp/testroot
~pmatilai/Downloads/e2fsprogs-1.42.10-4.fc21.x86_64.rpm

error: unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Missing file(s)
error: e2fsprogs-1.42.10-4.fc21.x86_64: install failed
Older rpm versions will merrily install this package, but report
breakage on verify:
[root@localhost rpm-4.11.x]# ./rpm -Uvh --nodeps --noscripts --root
/tmp/testroot ~pmatilai/Downloads/e2fsprogs-1.42.10-4.fc21.x86_64.rpm

missing /usr/sbin/e2label

This is bug in package generation so any thusly affected packages need
to be rebuilt.
