"make rpm" or "rpmbuild --rebuild libvirt-0.6.2-1.fc9.src.rpm" is broken. With good reason he (rpmbuild) complains about not finding libvirt_proxy. In proxy/Makefile a lot of is commented out - is this due to the libvirt_proxy buffer overflow? There is no libvirt_proxy in the libvirt-0.6.2-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm package: rr016# rpm -pq --list /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/libvirt-0.6.2-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm|grep proxy Warnung: /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/libvirt-0.6.2-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA-Signatur: NOKEY, key ID de95bc1f Therefore i think the libvirt.spec must be patched to not include libvirt_proxy by default as follows: --- /tmp/libvirt.spec.old 2009-04-03 22:12:26.000000000 +0200 +++ /tmp/libvirt.spec 2009-04-03 22:12:05.000000000 +0200 @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ # -*- rpm-spec -*- %define with_xen 0%{!?_without_xen:1} -%define with_xen_proxy 0%{!?_without_xen_proxy:1} +%define with_xen_proxy 0%{!?_without_xen_proxy:0} %define with_qemu 0%{!?_without_qemu:1} %define with_openvz 0%{!?_without_openvz:1} %define with_lxc 0%{!?_without_lxc:1} Then the "make rpm" builds as the libvirt-0.6.2-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm.

Strange I actually use "make rpm" to make the releases.

Right it should be desactivated for fedora >= 8 as we use remote access controlled by policykit there: %if 0%{?fedora} >= 8 %define with_polkit 0%{!?_without_polkit:1} %define with_xen_proxy 0 %endif
Therefore i think the libvirt.spec must be patched to not include libvirt_proxy by default as follows:
I would rather try to understand why you have the problem, it does rebuild here as far as I can tell. I have a xen package installed but the above rule should prevent the proxy from building. I guess there is a different problem, I wonder why on Fedora9 you would have the above ignored.

Daniel I should have been more specific: I use RHEL5. My workaround was to disable the libvirt_proxy-stuff and rebuilt the PolicyKit/ConsoleKit for RHEL5. With the patch issued by you here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2009-April/msg00269.html "make rpm" works flawless and no need anymore for the PolicyKit or ConsoleKit anymore. I must have missed to answer to that other post with the RHEL5-patch.

Ah, okay, I rebuild regulary on RHEL5 so yeah that got fixed :-) Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ daniel@veillard.com | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/
