As noted in the build log on the CI system, kfilemetadata doesn't depend on kcoreaddons so you therefore cannot rely on the kde5.xml file being available: [kf5-qt5 SUSEQt5.9] Running shell script + python3 -u ci-tooling/helpers/prepare-dependencies.py --product Frameworks --project kfilemetadata --branchGroup kf5-qt5 --environment production --platform SUSEQt5.9 --installTo /home/jenkins//install-prefix/ Retrieving: Frameworks-extra-cmake-modules-kf5-qt5 Retrieving: Frameworks-ki18n-kf5-qt5 Retrieving: Frameworks-karchive-kf5-qt5 The CI system is working correctly in this case and as designed, only allowing actual dependencies of a project to be used during it's build and testing.
