Description Craig 2023-02-14 17:52:19 UTC 
Description of problem:

Using openscap to scan a system that use apt (such as Debian or Ubuntu) returns incomplete results. This warning is logged:
OVAL object 'dpkginfo_object' is not supported.

The problem is that openscap was built without libapt support, looking at the build log at https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/openscap/1.3.7/2.fc38/data/logs/x86_64/build.log
```

-- Linux probes: ON
--   Linux dpkginfo probe (depends on aptpkg): OFF
```

Here's the check in the openscap project build system:
https://github.com/OpenSCAP/openscap/blob/1.3.7/CMakeLists.txt#L291

The openscap package should have:
BuildRequires: apt-libs

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openscap-1.3.7-2.fc38

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run `oscap --v`

Actual results:
`linux         dpkginfo                     probe_dpkginfo` is missing from the output

Expected results:
`linux         dpkginfo                     probe_dpkginfo` should be in the output.

Comment 2 Aoife Moloney 2023-11-23 01:15:06 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 37 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 37 on 2023-12-05.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '37'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 37 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.
Comment 3 Michal Ambroz 2023-11-25 16:29:20 UTC 
dependency added to the 1.3.9 build in rawhide.
It is now failing for something else, but once it is fix I will propagate to current branches as well.
