Warning on openSUSE Tumbleweed

[Eiji7]

Hey, I'm using asdf for managing multiple versions of development software. It uses this project and on openSUSE distribution there is one small problem. Luckily it does not stops building process, but still shows a warning which is really confusing:

WARNING: It appears a required development package 'openssl-devel' is not installed.

I have found that this message comes from:

kerl/kerl

Lines 371 to 389 in a0f4789

	_rpm_is_installed() {
	rpm --quiet -q "$1" >/dev/null 2>&1
	}
	_check_rpm() {
	required='
	openssl-devel
	make
	automake
	autoconf
	ncurses-devel
	gcc
	'
	for pkg in $required; do
	if ! _rpm_is_installed "$pkg"; then
	echo "WARNING: It appears a required development package '$pkg' is not installed."
	fi
	done
	}

To understand what is going wrong on openSUSE simply let me show you my output:

$ rpm -q openssl-devel
pakiet openssl-devel nie jest zainstalowany
# message in Polish that such package is not installed
$ rpm -q libopenssl-devel
libopenssl-devel-1.1.1c-1.1.noarch

Finally to confirm that such package just does not exists here is a search result:

$ zypper search openssl-devel

# Reading installed packages ...

Do you think that you can add a special check for this case? Please look that it's not a distribution which nobody knows about. Following Distrowatch openSUSE is 10th of most popular distributions and also 4 of 62 Independent distributions.

Thanks for the report. This is a "best effort" warning because over the years we've had quite a lot of tickets filed because people don't have such and such a Linux dependency installed prior to building Erlang.

I just ran into this myself updating from asdf to 22.3.3 from 22.3. It's possible I upgraded something that caused a conflict but I certainly have the libopenssl-devel installed. Wondering what a workaround might be.

openssl-devel

suse doesn't have a openssl-devel package. it is named as libopenssl-devel

Can you please provide what uname -s provide on opensuse ?
So a workaround can be done on requirement ?

can you test this dev branch : https://github.com/crownedgrouse/kerl/tree/feature/opensuse_workaround ?
before I propose a PR, as I do not have an opensuse machine right now.

I've tested using a suse container image (https://github.com/oshanz/test-kerl-suse) and warning are working correctly. thanks for the fix @crownedgrouse 🚀
