The Fedora package is currently unmaintained, as you can see for
yourself by clicking on the link I provided.  If Dominique Dumont
maintained the package at some point in the past, that is no longer
the case.

You can often get a clue about the state of a package from
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/.  In this case,
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pan says "Package is currently
unmaintained".  If you use it, consider taking over as maintainer.

That suggests that "-lcups" is either too early on the link line
(before the object that refers to these functions) or missing from the
link line altogether.  Can you show the compiler or linker invocation
that issues the errors?

$ rpm -q --scripts emacs
preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
/usr/sbin/alternatives --remove emacs /usr/bin/emacs-29.4 || :
posttrans scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/emacs emacs
/usr/bin/emacs-29.4 80 || :

I think that preuninstall scriptlet should instead be:

if [ $1 = 0 ]; then
  /usr/sbin/alternatives --remove emacs /usr/bin/emacs-29.4 || :
fi

See 
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Scriptlets/#_syntax.
If that sounds right, a bug report is in order.

In virt-manager, if you select the Edit menu and then "Connection

libvirtd.service is socket activated, so it should run automatically
when needed.  Does something not work if you don't start it manually?

Compile-time detection of AVX2 is no good.  Fedora supports pre-AVX2
CPUs.  If upstream can be convinced to do runtime detection of AVX2,
that would be great.

Does this show anything?

rpm -q --whatrequires 'libicui18n.so.69()(64bit)'

If not, does this show anything?

grep -Fl 'libicui18n.so.69' /usr/lib64/lib*

No, fontconfig is for a completely different kind of font.  It won't
help you at all with TeX fonts.

The texlive font packages have virtual provides for their fonts.  So
if LaTeX complains that font ujkpsyd cannot be found, for example, you
can run "sudo dnf install tex(ujkpsyd.fd)" to get the needed package.

If that doesn't work for you, post the part of the log that mentions
the missing font and we'll see if we can figure it out.

I don't think you need to feel bad about it.  Fedora has lots of
packages maintained by people who don't work on the upstream code.

Out of curiosity, what is the package you would like to see added to Fedora?

Here's the problem: who is going to act on such a request?  Packagers
typically work on packages because they are either paid to do so or
have a personal interest in the package.  If the package you have in
mind isn't already in Fedora, the hard part for you will be convincing
some packager to take an interest in it.

But there's another possibility: have you considered becoming a
packager yourself, even if it is for this one package only?

The zero timestamps are present in the upstream tarball.  Download this:

https://github.com/scipy/scipy/releases/download/v1.11.1/scipy-1.11.1.tar.gz

It looks like every file in that archive has a zero timestamp.

Make sure you have dracut-config-rescue installed.  Then run:

sudo rm /boot/*rescue*
sudo /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/51-dracut-rescue.install add "$(uname
-r)" /boot "/boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r)"

That will make the currently running kernel, with a suitable
initramfs, be your rescue kernel.

That works on my F38 machine.  Does this turn up anything?

find /usr/share/texlive -name \*.rpmnew

I'm especially interested in /usr/share/texlive/web2c/updmap.cfg.  If
there's an rpmnew version, you might have to fix that up before your
example will work.

Where did you get texlive-upgreek?  I don't see it in Fedora.

Do you have the texlive-amsfonts package installed?  That seems to be
the package that contains eurm10.afm.

If you can make your list with find, you can also do something like this:

find [top directory] [find criteria here] -exec tar -cvzf arch.tgz {} +

Or, if you can generate the list with null characters instead of
spaces as the filename separators, you could do something like this:

[generate the list with nulls] | xargs -0 tar -cvzf arch.tgz

I see in the changelog for kernel 6.1.7 that several NFS-related bugs
have been fixed (see
https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v6.x/ChangeLog-6.1.7).  This
includes some reference counting bugs, which could be the cause of the

MuseScore 4.0

[Jerry James]

MuseScore is music composition and notation software, currently
available from Fedora in the mscore package. Version 4.0 was just
released.  If anybody would like to try it out, it is available from
this COPR: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jjames/MuseScore4/.
I do not intend to build for Fedora until some issues have been worked
out.

WARNING!  WARNING!  WARNING!
DO NOT TRY THIS IN A WAYLAND SESSION. It will run for anywhere from a
few seconds to a few minutes, then abruptly exit with a "Protocol
error".  Run an X session to try MuseScore 4.0.
WARNING!  WARNING!  WARNING!

WARNING!  WARNING!  WARNING!
Configuration for MuseScore 3.x and 4.x differs in some important
respects.  You may have to do a "factory reset" when switching
versions.  Run "mscore -R" or "mscore -F" if it won't start.  This
will clear out your list of recently opened scores, for example, so
backup your configuration before you do this.
WARNING!  WARNING!  WARNING!

To try it out, run:

sudo dnf copr enable jjames/MuseScore4
sudo dnf install musescore

Please try the video export option, which has bitrotted upstream. I
have attempted to update it for current ffmpeg. Please let me know if
it does or does not work for you. If it works well, I will submit my
patch upstream.  Do this: "mscore --score-video  -o
filename.mp4", and optionally try the --resolution and --fps
arguments.  Run "mscore --help" for more information.  This
functionality does not seem to be available via the GUI.

Upstream bundles fluidsynth, apparently for the sole purpose of
implementing a caching soundfont loader that uses internal fluidsynth
APIs. I have unbundled fluidsynth for this repository, which means
there is no soundfont cache. If you switch soundfonts frequently,
please let me know if the performance is acceptable. If you are
familiar with the fluidsynth API and can implement a caching soundfont
loader using only public APIs, please do so and submit it upstream.

Several other products are bundled (beatroot-vamp, dtl, intervaltree,
rtf2html, and KDDockWidgets).  Each of them has either been altered by
the MuseScore developers or, in the case of KDDockWidgets, internal
APIs are used so extensively that I cannot see how to unbundle
successfully.  Thoughts on how any of these products might be
unbundled are welcome.

The COPR version makes a long-requested change: the package name
changes from mscore to musescore.  Let me know if you encounter any
problems arising from that change.

A new font package is needed to build version 4.0 for Fedora.  I would
appreciate a review from anybody who feels competent to review a font
package: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2152347.  There
is a question about the appropriate foundry name.  If you can help
answer that question, please chime in.

Yes, that's all exactly right.  The three backticks are how python
marks blocks of text.  I've gotten into the habit of using those in
emails to separate code from commentary.  Sorry if that was confusing.

So, yes, create events.stp anywhere, and pass the path to stap if it
isn't in the current directory.

If you can't figure this out otherwise, here's a heavyweight solution.
Install the systemtap package.  Run "sudo stap-prep".  Put this in a
file named, say, events.stp, and replace "" with your actual
username:

```
probe vfs.open
{
  if (pathname == "/home//events.json")
printf("events.json created by %s (pid %d, uid %d)\n", execname(),
pid(), uid())
}
```

That's crude, because it doesn't check that the file is opened in
create mode, but it will do for your case.  Delete events.json, then
run "sudo stap events.stp".  Come back later and see if it has printed
anything.  If I run "touch events.json" in another shell, for example,
it prints:

events.json created by touch (pid 39957, uid 1000)

Press Ctrl-C to exit from stap when you are done.

The socket.h header file is in the glibc-headers package.  Maybe you
are looking for "man 7 socket" and "man 2 socket"?  Those man pages
are in the man-pages package, as well as the pipe man page.

Help me understand.  You have succeeded in building the shortwave

gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-devel libsoup-devel json-glib-devel
geoclue2-devel geocode-glib-devel

If libgee-devel is too new, you can try libgee06-devel instead.  Good luck!

That message is from sendmail, not setup.  On Fedora, if you install

Like Richard already said, qag.c is a source file, not a binary file
that would be installed by the gsl or gsl-devel packages.  However,
you can get it like this:

sudo dnf --enablerepo=fedora-debuginfo --enablerepo=updates-debuginfo
install gsl-debugsource

Then the file you are looking for will be installed in
/usr/src/debug/gsl-2.6-6.fc36.x86_64/integration/qag.c.

If you are certain that you're seeing the real gigabyte site, not some
spoof site that's going to steal your data, then go to Firefox
Settings, choose "Privacy & Security" on the left, then scroll down to
the "Security" section.  There should be a "Certificates" subsection
under that.  Choose "View Certificates".  Choose "Servers".  Do you
see a gigabyte certificate listed there?  If so, delete it.  If not,
then we've reached the limits of my knowledge and you're on your own.

Be really sure that the new certificate is actually issued by gigabyte
before you do this.

There was a recent wine update that split the vkd3d libraries out into

The values the kernel was configured with are in
/boot/config-.  If I understand your question correctly, you
are looking for CONFIG_NR_CPUS, which is 8192 on my machine.

Re: updatedb.conf?

[Jerry James]

If you take a look at plocate.spec [1], you'll see on line 101 that
this file is declared with %ghost.  So the file itself is not shipped
with the plocate package, but if you create it, then the package will
assume ownership of it; i.e., if you remove the plocate package, then
/etc/updatedb.conf will be removed, too.

If all else fails, and it sounds like it has, here's a technique I
have used to find out why something fails to launch.  Install strace
("sudo dnf install strace").  Then run this command in a terminal:

strace -ff -o oobase -s 1024 oobase

When that exits, you will have 1 or more files with names of the form
oobase. in the current directory.  One of them may have a clue
as to what is going on.  Upload them somewhere, and I'll take a look
to see if the cause is apparent.

Maybe, maybe not.  But it doesn't do any good either.  Are you aware
of a single instance of somebody making fun of code, and the author of
said code then saying, "Oh, now that you have made fun of my code, I
see that I didn't think things through?"  It doesn't happen.  Making
fun of a person's creations makes that person defensive, and less
tractable than they might have been at first.  It is
counterproductive.

We primates have a distinct tendency to descend into warring tribes of
poop-slinging chimpanzees.  Many organizations have codified standards
of professional behavior for precisely this reason.  Once the
poop-slinging starts, forward progress comes to a rapid halt.

Those who are unhappy with a technical product have a choice.  Either
(1) whine endlessly about it, which will change nothing; or (2) figure
out how to persuade somebody to change things.  The latter requires
making a technical argument.  List the disadvantages of the current
approach.  Outline an alternate approach that does not have those
disadvantages.  Be frank about the disadvantages of the alternate
approach.  Approach the person or people with decision-making power
and persuade them that your alternate approach deserves a hard look.
Offer to help implement the alternate approach.

Persuading people takes work.  Mocking not only doesn't persuade, it
does the opposite.

The author has responded to email in the past, so that's probably
fine.  I'm not an inria person, but the author should be able to
invite you if that seems like the best way to go.

I don't see anything in the release notes that suggests that might be
the case.  See https://gitlab.inria.fr/gappa/gappa/-/blob/master/NEWS.md.

Honestly, I don't remember what I was worried about now.  Maybe it was
the change in precedence of unary minus?  I guess it must have been.
The other changes seem innocuous.

In any case, if you think you are triggering infinite recursion, try
filing a bug here: https://gitlab.inria.fr/gappa/gappa/-/issues.

The gitlab project is the only resource I know about.

Because /usr/lib64/libmpfr.so is in the mpfr-devel package, not the
mpfr package.  This is not unique to mpfr.  All library packages in
Fedora do this.  See:

I did not update F35 and below to gappa 1.4 because of some

Mathematical packages: looking for maintainers

[Jerry James]

Hello all,

I first mentioned a couple of months ago that I would like to retire
from maintaining mathematical packages in Fedora, so that I can focus
on code analysis and formal methods packages.  Thank you to those who
responded and took some of those packages from me.  I still have quite
a pile left.  If you are a sagemath or Macaulay2 user, in particular,
please consider giving some of these packages a new home.

The packages are in good shape, mostly.  I still have a couple left
that failed the mass rebuild, but only a couple.  Almost all are on
their latest versions and need no immediate work.

Packages for which I am the primary maintainer

Octave's symbolic module still wants sympy 1.5, but sympy in Fedora
has moved on to later versions.  See

You're not a packager.  So that means you need a sponsor?  If so,
contact me offline and I'll talk to you about how we can approach

Re: Seeking maintainers of mathematical packages

[Jerry James]

Sorry for the late reply.  I thought I would post this just before the
American Thanksgiving holiday, so that people would have a chance to
look it over while on break.  I didn't think ahead, though, to realize
that *I* wasn't going to have much time for Fedora work during the
holiday.  I had a great time, but pretty much ignored Fedora. :-)

That's a good question.  Let's see what needs these packages.  Using
the command "dnf --repo=rawhide --repo=rawhide-source repoquery
--whatrequires [package] --alldeps", I came up with this dependency
tree (after simplifying a bit), just to give an idea of where these
packages lie with respect to the rest of Fedora:

Seeking maintainers of mathematical packages

[Jerry James]

y maintainer is listed after the package name.

cddlib: pcpa
flint: pcpa
givaro: mycae
libedit: branto
ntl: rdieter
tbb: trodgers; see https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jjames/TBB2021/
 for my take on what the next version of tbb should look like

Packages for which I am neither primary maintainer nor comaintainer, but
I've
been maintaining them anyway.  As above, this serves as notice to the
primary
maintainer that I am stepping away from active maintenance of these
packages.

python-cypari2: pcpa

python-fpylll: pcpa
rw: pcpa

sympow: pcpa

As far as I know, neither bagnara nor pcpa is actively involved in Fedora
anymore, so once I step away from their packages, the packages will
effectively be unmaintained.

If you want to see how these packages are related to each other, here is a
graph showing all of the packages I am involved with in Fedora:

https://jamezone.org/pleasure/software/Fedora/fedora.pdf

The black ovals are packages for which I am primary maintainer, blue are
packages for which I am comaintainer, green are packages for which I am
neither but I maintain the package anyway, and red are packages that I
normally don't touch except for the occasional rebuild due to an soname
bump or similar.  The ones I am talking about stepping away from are
primarily on the right half of the diagram.

I've seen that on CentOS machines.  It just means that you haven't
signed up for a RHEL account.  I have to wonder if Jonathan is running

Remove the BuildRoot line.  That hasn't been needed for years.

This Requires *should* be autogenerated.  Try removing it and see if
the binary package includes an equivalent Requires.

Remove the second line above.  It is unnecessary and occasionally dangerous.

Remove the entire %clean section.  RPM already does this for you.

Take a look here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1829790

This seems to mean that scilab has its own openssl library, and that
leads to symbol conflicts.

For me it was enough, yes.

I've got a machine with a fresh Fedora 34 installation on it.  On that
one, hostnamectl says:

   Static hostname: n/a
Transient hostname: fedora

And I'm not seeing the log spam.

Also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1893223, filed last
October.  And see:

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/de...@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/SV26LZTNV42GXBMZVYAFRMBBGKYUI7VN/

For me, running "hostnamectl" showed that the static hostname was
"localhost" and the transient hostname was "fedora", apparently
because somebody thought the latter was a good idea.  The nonmatching
hostnames triggered NetworkManager to spam the logs, which is the
second bug.  Both should be fixed, but the fact that nobody is paying
attention to bugs filed last fall is not encouraging.

The workaround I resorted to was to use hostnamectl to make the static
and transient hostnames match.

The aegisub package is not distributed by Fedora, but rather by
rpmfusion.  You should file a bug and include the information above.
See here for how to do that:

https://rpmfusion.org/ReportingBugs

That will alert the package maintainer to the problem.  It's possible
that aegisub just needs to be rebuilt against the latest GTK library,
but the maintainer can help determine that.  Good luck!

The NetworkManager-l2tp package depends on xl2tpd, which depends on
kmod(l2tp_ppp.ko).

$ dnf repoquery --whatprovides 'kmod(l2tp_ppp.ko)'
kernel-debug-modules-extra-0:5.10.18-200.fc33.x86_64
kernel-modules-extra-0:5.10.18-200.fc33.x86_64

When you removed kernel-debug-modules-extra, your system did not have
kernel-modules-extra installed, leaving it with no packages providing
kmod(l2tp_ppp.ko).  Therefore, xl2tpd had to be removed, which in turn
required the removal of NetworkManager-l2tp.

When you reinstalled NetworkManager-l2tp, its dependency on xl2tpd required
something providing kmod(l2tp_ppp.ko) to be installed.  Of the two packages
that provide kmod(l2tp_ppp.ko), kernel-modules-extra has the shorter name,
so it was installed to satisfy the dependency.  (Yum, at least, used the
"shorter name" rule.  I'm just guessing that dnf does likewise.)

Error 107 is ENOTCONN (transport endpoint is not connected).  See
/usr/include/asm-generic/errno.h for error numbers.

The xs_tcp_setup_socket function is part of the RPC code in the
kernel.  Something on your system is trying to make an RPC call once
every 30 seconds, but is failing to connect to the server.  If you
enable debug-level logging, you should see a log message showing what
address it is trying to connect to. See if this does the trick:

$ echo 0x > /proc/sys/sunrpc/rpc_debug
[Wait for the log messages to appear]
$ echo 0 > /proc/sys/sunrpc/rpc_debug

Disclaimer: I haven't actually tried the above, nor do I see these
messages on my system.

So no, there is no appdata or metainfo file in the package, which is

The From: line in your email looks like this:

Here's how I wound up with these packages:

gnome-boxes -> libvirt-daemon-kvm -> qemu-kvm -> qemu-system-x86 ->
qemu-system-x86-core -> libibverbs -> rdma-core

I think gnome-boxes is part of the default Workstation install, which
explains why so many people have rdma-core installed.

If a command line tool suits you, run the "factor" command:

$ factor 2345234
2345234: 2 271 4327

It's part of coreutils, so should be installed on every Fedora system.

As far as I can tell, that gets you all of them.  If you prefer

sudo dnf install urw-base35-nimbus-roman-fonts
urw-base35-nimbus-sans-fonts urw-base35-nimbus-mono-ps-fonts

If a missing use-package is the only obstacle you know about right

Actually Fedora 31 and 32 both have Firefox 80.0.1.  It appears that
all Firefox builds for F33 and Rawhide have failed recently, so those
two are still stuck on Firefox 78.  Visit
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji and search for "firefox" to see
the build attempts.  I don't see anything that immediately jumps out
at me at https://bugz.fedoraproject.org/firefox, but hopefully the
maintainers are aware of the situation.

A peek at the most recent build log suggests that LTO may be playing a
role in the build failures.

Why does everyone seem to think this is a Java bug?  The system log
showed that a crash occurred in Rf_eval (libR.so + 0x157ab3); i.e., in
the R library.  The stack trace shows a lot of calls to these
functions:

bcEval
forcePromise
getvar
R_execClosure
Rf_appyClosure
Rf_eval

It's possible that R is being handed an expression to evaluate that is
so complex that it runs out of stack space, or there could be an
infinite recursion bug in R somewhere.  If the former, the solution is
to bump up the stack space.  I would try the -Xss argument to java
first to see if that makes the issue go away.  I'm not sure what the
default value is, so I don't know what to suggest, but maybe start
with something like -Xss4M.  If that fixes the issue, then retry with
successively smaller values to find something reasonable that is still
big enough to work.

Then you'll have to change connectionFont to some font that you do
have.  What you have now is something like this (using a wildcard,
because I don't know what should go there):

*connectionFont: -*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1

You'll need to determine which font you want to use.  The
xorg-x11-apps package contains xfontsel, which can help you determine
a font string to use.  You might want to start by replacing the
"iso8859-1" part with wildcards, i.e.,

*connectionFont: -*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Once you've got the font string you want, add it to your ~/.Xresources
or ~/.Xdefaults file.  Wow, I haven't had to do any of this for years.
My memory is a little hazy, but I think that's approximately what
needs to be done. :-)

The Emacs NEWS file says that set-default-font was one of many
obsolete functions that were removed in version Emacs 27.  The NEWS.20
file notes:

** set-default-font has been renamed to set-frame-font

I found this with "grep -Fr set-default-font /usr/share/emacs/27.1/etc".

Are you building for a rawhide target?  If so, mock is pulling in rpms
from the most recent rawhide compose.  Add "--enablerepo=local" to get
the very latest rpms from koji.

There have been a fewl instances recently of the annobin plugin not
matching gcc.  As far as I know, the issue has been resolved, so
hopefully the extra mock flag will work for you.

The repo is enabled by default starting in Fedora 32, but the Firefox
plugin is not.  If you want to use it, open the Firefox menu and
choose "Add-ons".  Choose the "Plugins" tab.  You'll see the OpenH264
Video Codec plugin, but it is disabled.  Select it and change "Never
Activate" to "Always Activate".

See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenH264 for more information.

It means that rpmfusion is running ahead.  They pushed vlc to stable
before the Fedora libebml-1.4.0-1.fc32 and libmatroska-1.6.0-1 updates
went stable:

Do you have ffmpeg installed?  It is not available from Fedora for

Historically, they were not required for frama-c to do something
useful.  The WP plugin needs them, but frama-c can be used in other
ways.

However, I see that frama-c's opam file lists both of them as
non-optional "depends", so I will make them Requires for the next
frama-c build.  (Note that alt-ergo is a Suggests already.)

I see this in the log:

[wp] User Error: Prover 'alt-ergo' not found in why3.conf

which is a lie.  Prover alt-ergo is most definitely listed in
why3.conf.  I'll debug this.  Stand by.

That was a genealogy database.  It has nothing to do with your

Somebody else suggested removing that database might fix the issue,
although you will lose your dnf history.
