[LU-8343] build failures on SLES

Related — Wed, 13 Jul 2016 18:40:02 +0000

The recent rpm naming and build changes due to ~~LU-5614~~ that landed recently appear to interact badly with kernel builds on SLES.
In particular on a recent build for sles12 it generates lustre rpms where the Provides strings in the lustre-kmp rpms don't match the Requires strings in the other lustre rpms. This prevents normal installs from completing. Only installs with --nodeps or --force options works.

examples:

# rpm -ivh lustre-kmp-default-2* lustre-osd-ldiskfs-kmp-default-2*
lustre-osd-ldiskfs-mount-2* lustre-2* lustre-iok* lustre-tests-kmp-default-2*
lustre-tests-2*
error: Failed dependencies:
	lustre-kmp = 2.8.55_27_g35038f0_3.12.59_60.41_lustre is needed by
lustre-osd-ldiskfs-kmp-default-2.8.55_27_g35038f0_k3.12.59_60.41-3.12.59_60.41_
lustre_default.x86_64
	lustre-kmp = 2.8.55_27_g35038f0_3.12.59_60.41_lustre is needed by
lustre-2.8.55_27_g35038f0-3.12.59_60.41_lustre_default.x86_64
	lustre-kmp = 2.8.55_27_g35038f0_3.12.59_60.41_lustre is needed by
lustre-tests-2.8.55_27_g35038f0-3.12.59_60.41_lustre_default.x86_64

looking at the Provides in the lustre-kmp-default rpm shows:

lustre-kmp = 2.8.55_27_g35038f0_k3.12.59_60.41

while the Requires string needed in the lustre rpms can be seen to be:

2.8.55_27_g35038f0_3.12.59_60.41_lustre

in the error messages above.
Looks like there's an extra 'k' character in the string "2.8.55_27_g35038f0_k3.12.59_60.41" that's blocking a good match.
Think it should probably say "..._g35038f0_3.12.59_60.41" not "_g35038f0_k3.12.59_60.41" as it does now.
