Description Onyeibo Oku 2013-11-30 05:25:27 UTC

Description of problem:
Updating boost (and dependent boost-thread) amounts to lots of ldconfig error messages. (eg. /sbin/ldconfig: /lib64/libboost_thread.so is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.54.0-6.fc20

How reproducible:
sure

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run "yum update boost" -- with updates-testing repo enabled
2. download will go fine
3. /sbin/ldconfig errors should surface during installation for all boost-thread dependent packages

Actual results:
ldconfig error message for all boost-thread dependent packages.  Error example: Updating   : taglib-.9.1-2.fc20.x86_64 
/sbin/ldconfig: /lib64/libboost_thread.so is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start.

Expected results:
No error message ... silent/neat updating and cleanup

Additional info:
i observed a change in repo packages:
Updating   : fedora-release-20-1.noarch 
warning: /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo created as /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo.rpmnew
warning: /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo created as /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo.rpmnew

cpp in F 20 apparently includes some random comments at the beginning of the preprocessed file.  That shifts the magic ("/* GNU ld script") ahead and the whole thing breaks.  I'll replace it with m4.

I can confirm that boost-1.54.0-7.fc{20,21} fix this issue for me on Fedora 20 and Rawhide.
