A first workaround is to use db43 from Suse 11 SP1.

The full correction implies to:

1. add a builder for CFEngine / SLES 11 SP2 so that it use libdb4.5

This task is in progress actually

1. change packaging to depend upon libdb4.5

The correct name of the package is libdb-4_5. I will add the correct dependencies

I don't know how to deal with this Service Packa problem.

In the SPEC file there are 2 conditions:

%if 0%{?sles_version} == 11
BuildRequires: db43-devel
Requires: db43 pmtools
%endif

%if 0%{?suse_version} >= 1120
BuildRequires: libdb-4_5-devel
Requires: libdb-4_5 pmtools
%endif

But SLES 11 SP2 enter into the two of them. I don't know how to do a elseif with the SPEC file, it seems that it is not possible.

I've tried this without success:

%if 0%{?sles_version} == 11
%if 0%{?suse_version} >= 1120
[...]
%else
[...]
%endif
%endif

or this (cf https://twitter.com/mvidner/status/8592049695)

%if 0%{?suse_version} >= 1120
[...]
%else \n %if 0%{?sles_version} == 11
[...]
%endif

It seems that an error happens with the macro %suse_version on SLES 11 SP2:

sles-builder-11-sp2-64:/usr/src/packages # cat /etc/SuSE-release 
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11
PATCHLEVEL = 2

sles-builder-11-sp2-64:/usr/src/packages # rpm --eval '%suse_version'
1110

sles-11-sp1-64:~ # cat /etc/SuSE-release 
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11
PATCHLEVEL = 1

sles-11-sp1-64:~ # rpm --eval '%suse_version'
1110

Then, the decision has been made to not support SLES 11 SP2 for the 2.4.0~rc2

What is the status of that bug ? Does new work was done on it ? Does we want to not support SLES 11 SP2 at all ?

We need to support SLES 11 SP2. However, they have broken the system variables that packaging relies on, by not incrementing their version number (!!!), making it very hard for us to implement the logic required. I'm not sure how to work around it yet...

That problem occurs on SLES 11 SP1 too (see #3188)

It seems that the package db43 is only available on the SLES 11 SDK, but was never on the official Suse repositories.

So there is no problem on Suse having the SDK, but every other won't work

I made another pull request containing the dependency change for all SLES 11 here : https://github.com/Normation/rudder-packages/pull/15
