Hi Ralf, I'm responding to the list in case this helps someone else.
I actually had to check in /v/openpkg/bf/arc/OpenPKG_2.5/log to find the right build, but I found the problem. We are building openssl with "with_zlib" enabled, and that is setting up the unresolved 2nd-order dependency in openldap (i.e., openldap knows it needs openssl, but does not realize that this implies it also needs zlib). Having gotten past this problem, we have encountered the same problem building perl-www which also needs openssl, and hence zlib. (We built with the same options when we built OepnPKG 2.1, but for some reason did not hit these snags then.) I have in the past encountered other examples of these 2nd-order dependency problems (as well as other problems) when turning on "with_xxx" options that default to off. What is the OpenPKG policy with regard to testing the provided options prior to delivering a release? Do you simply guarantee that the default set of options will build out of the box, but that turning on any options is at the user's own risk? Or do you also test with, say, all options enabled? If it's the former, is this documented on the openpkg website? I can sympathize if you only have the resources to test the defaults, but feel that it makes the untested options significantly less useful, given the number of times I've been bitten turning them on. But in any case, what OpenPKG is committing to testing and not testing has to be clear to potential adopters, I think.
