Another thought... Could I use a different build mechanism that would result in the same installation rpm? There's no reason I have to use source rpms, I'm just used to it because of qmailtoaster.SteveSent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE device------ Original message------From: steve@keptprivate.comDate: Thu, Jan 7, 2021 3:48 PMTo: Aki Tuomi;dovecot@dovecot.org;Cc: Subject:Re: problem building on centos 8 (8.3 kernel) Any ideas about the lsb_release error in the spec file and where that came from? I have a very vanilla centos 8 install I'm trying to bulid on. Any thoughts appreciated because I'm stuck and at something of a loss on what to try next.

Hi,

I'm

converting from qmailtoaster/vpopmail build.

When I try to build dovecot-2.3.13-2.src.rpm for centos 8.3 the first thing I run into is this:

• sed -i 's|/etc/ssl|/etc/pki/dovecot|' doc/mkcert.sh doc/example-config/conf.d/10-ssl.conf
• '[' -e buildinfo.commit ']' ++ head -1 buildinfo.commit
• COMMIT=89f716dc2ec7362864a368d32533184b55fb7831 ++ /bin/sh /home/build/rpmbuild/SOURCES/lsb_release -is

/bin/sh: /home/build/rpmbuild/SOURCES/lsb_release: No such file or directory

• ID= error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.WFaLYQ (%build)

RPM build errors: Macro expanded in comment on line 455: %{_libdir}/dovecot/settings

Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.WFaLYQ (%build)

I can get past this with an edit to the dovecot.spec file (removing sourcedir):

if [ -e "buildinfo.commit" ]; then COMMIT=head -1 buildinfo.commit ID=/bin/sh %̶{̶_̶s̶o̶u̶r̶c̶e̶d̶i̶r̶}̶/̶lsb_release -is RELEASE=/bin/sh %̶{̶_̶s̶o̶u̶r̶c̶e̶d̶i̶r̶}̶/̶lsb_release -rs CODENAME=/bin/sh %̶{̶_̶s̶o̶u̶r̶c̶e̶d̶i̶r̶}̶/̶lsb_release -cs ARCH=arch fi

The RPM builds but it fails to run with this message in the logs:

Jan 6 20:52:11 beta1 systemd[1]: Starting Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server... Jan 6 20:52:11 beta1 systemd[1]: Started Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server. Jan 6 20:52:11 beta1 dovecot[356909]: /usr/sbin/dovecot: error while loading shared libraries: libdovecot.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Jan 6 20:52:11 beta1 systemd[1]: dovecot.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=127/n/a Jan 6 20:52:11 beta1 systemd[1]: dovecot.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Any ideas what I have going wrong?

Also, a side question, when I build the rpm it's not running the extensive tests that the old qmailtoaster source rpm used to run. I've looked through the spec file and I don't really see where to turn that back on.

Sorry if any of this is stupid, but I'm new to building directly from the dovecot repo.

I think the file is installed under /usr/lib64/, so check

ldd /usr/lib64/libdovecot.so.0

Is there some reason you are building the rpms yourself?
