[Starlingx-discuss] build-pkgs cannot complete std build

[Cordoba Malibran, Erich]

Hi, 

This is the build issue mentioned in the meeting this morning 

https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1794415 <- full details are
here.


In summary what happens is that ceph cannot be build, the build.log for
ceph says:

BUILDSTDERR: aclocal: overwriting 'm4/ax_c_var_func.m4' with '/usr/share/aclocal/ax_c_var_func.m4'

RPM build errors:

However, I'm able to build ceph in mock and I don't see this problem there.
We'll continue investigating
