4.22.0 EL10 RPM packages require non existent dependency #12178

Description

problem

The community RPM for ACS Management Server 4.22.0 for EL10 require an RPM called genisoimage that provides mkisofs.

This package does not appear to exist at all for EL10, so the install fails.

The genisoimage package has not been provided since EL8 / AlmaLinux 8.10, so this problem may also be occurring in all RPMs created for EL9+.

versions

OS: AlmaLinux 10.1 x86_64 server install without GUI.
ACS: 4.22.0
Platform: x86_64 Hyper-V on Windows 11 Pro

The steps to reproduce the bug

create /etc/yum.repos.d/cloudstack.repo and add this to the file:

[cloudstack]
gpgcheck=1
humanname=CloudStack
gpgkey=https://download.cloudstack.org/release.asc
name=CloudStack
baseurl=https://download.cloudstack.org/el/10/4.22/

then try to install it:

$ sudo yum install cloudstack-management

Error:
Problem: conflicting requests

  • nothing provides (genisoimage or mkisofs) needed by cloudstack-management-4.22.0.0-1.noarch from cloudstack
    (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

What to do about it?

Adjust the packaging creation process to no longer depend on genisoimage, but to depend on xorriso instead.

Installing xorriso on AlmaLinux 10 does provide mkisofs as a symlink to xorriso

/usr/bin$ ll mkisofs
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 25 Dec 2 20:06 mkisofs -> /etc/alternatives/mkisofs
/usr/bin$ cd /etc/alternatives/
/etc/alternatives$ ll mkisofs
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 18 Dec 2 20:06 mkisofs -> /usr/bin/xorrisofs
