Description¶

When trying to setup a build host running OpenSuse 15.3, as described by the redpesk online documentation (https://docs.redpesk.bzh/docs/en/master/getting_started/host-configuration/docs/1-Setup-your-build-host.html), script install-redpesk-sdk.sh fails. Reported error is:

Problem: nothing provides 'json-c' needed by the to be installed afb-client-4.0.1+20210711+1+g9702104-arz10.13.1.x86_64

On the host, json-c libraries are as follows:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jan 14 14:21 /usr/lib64/libjson-c.so -> libjson-c.so.3.0.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jan 14 14:21 /usr/lib64/libjson-c.so.3 -> libjson-c.so.3.0.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 64208 Jan 14 14:21 /usr/lib64/libjson-c.so.3.0.1

Workaround¶

1. Remove afb-client from the LIST_PACKAGE_RPM variable in install-redpesk-sdk.sh
2. Perform the install the usual way. This will succeed.
3. Manually install the afb-client package: zypper install afb-client. Choose option number 2 which is to force the installation, disregarding the package dependency.
4. The package will work fine as the dependency is spurious and the runtime ones are already satisfied.
