Fixes #6426
Queued on
Per discussion in the ticket, getting the list of available packages on SUSE-based distributions is too costly.
Instead, the solution is one similar to #4791 which was chosen for RHEL-based distributions: simply disable the detection of available packages.
However, while with the original issue the user will be able to install
conf-python-3on openSUSE Tumbleweed, opam will continue to detect that the package isn't installed and continuously bug the user about the missingpython3package which is in fact already installed.To fix that we use the
%{PROVIDES}tag (documented in http://ftp.rpm.org/max-rpm/ch-queryformat-tags.html):Related to #4759
