Description Daniel Alvarez Sanchez 2018-09-27 09:41:43 UTC
Open vSwitch v2.10 was released in August and there's no such package in Fedora. This is a key component for different projects such as OpenStack.

Hi Timothy,

Let's update Rawhide and Beta with 2.10 as we discussed.

Comment 4 Andre Robatino 2018-11-02 10:02:37 UTC
This package (any version) is not available for i386 in F29. In particular, this makes the MATE desktop uninstallable on i386:

It was not included in the Koji build for openvswitch-2.9.2-6.fc29 or for openvswitch-2.10.0-1.fc29. Is this intentional?

Comment 8 Andre Robatino 2018-11-11 18:08:09 UTC
There is some dependency problem in F29 after this was pushed to stable, I'm not sure what's going on. If people with updates-testing enabled don't see this, there must be another u-t package that needs to go to stable.

Comment 9 Timothy Redaelli 2018-11-11 18:46:22 UTC
The problem was that, in the meanwhile, unbound-libs was updated to 1.8.0 (with soname 8), but openvswitch was built with the old unbound-libs (with soname 2).

The strange thing is that the previous version of OVS (openvswitch-2.10.0-1.fc29) was build with the new unbound-libs (with soname 8) instead.

I launched a new build of OVS and I checked that it's using the correct unbound-libs version.
