Let's see... the buildoutput is available at: http://cm61-10-20-87.hkcable.com.hk/build/cooker/i586/OK/kups-1.1-11mdk.src.rpm.txt The only place in the buildoutput where I can find mcopidl is: checking for dcopidl2cpp... /usr/bin/dcopidl2cpp checking for mcopidl... /usr/bin/mcopidl checking for kdb2html... /usr/bin/kdb2html So it probably doesn't use this program to Build the application either. But if i leave out the BuildRequires, and arts isn't installed the package won't be rebuilt, because it will hang on the ./configure. What should I do? 1/ Keep the BuildRequires and just let it be; 2/ Remove the BuildRequires, and have a broken package (at least on my rebuilding system); 3/ Patch the source to let ./configure not check for mcopidl so we can drop the BuildRequires: arts. This means there is another patch to make & maintain and figuring all this out takes time. Feel free to submit such a patch and I'll put it in; 4/ Report a bug to the authors of the kups software and when the bug is fixed drop the BuildRequires: arts; > If mcopidl is really needed, then it's obviously NOT just an arts > thing and should be taken out and put in a more reasonable place.

The following files are in RedHat's Rawhide art s package: [stefan@taz RPMS]$ rpm -qipl arts-2.2.1-1.alpha.rpm | grep bin /usr/bin/artscat /usr/bin/artsd /usr/bin/artsdsp /usr/bin/artsplay /usr/bin/artsshell /usr/bin/artswrapper And for cooker: [stefan@taz RPMS]$ rpm -qpl arts-2.2.1-8mdk.i586.rpm libarts2-2.2.1-8mdk.i586.rpm libarts2-devel-2.2.1-8mdk.i586.rpm | sort | grep bin /usr/bin/artscat /usr/bin/artsc-config /usr/bin/artsd /usr/bin/artsdsp /usr/bin/artsplay /usr/bin/artsshell /usr/bin/artswrapper /usr/bin/mcopidl The mcopidl binary seems to be in a differen package on cooker. In Rawhide mcopidl can be found in: kdelibs-sound-devel-2.2.1-1.alpha.rpm. Cooker doesn't have kdelibs-sound-devel anymore... Please advise. Stefan van der Eijk
