I built the Rawhide package locally on a ppc64 (POWER7) machine (IBM,8246-L2T with 64 cores) and libguestfs both builds and installs fine. It does not actually work, owing to bug 1066524. The built package has: $ rpm -qRp ./ppc64/libguestfs-1.25.36-4.fc21.ppc64.rpm | grep 'lib[cm]\.' libc.so.6()(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.10)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.15)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.16)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.17)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.6)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.8)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.9)(64bit) libm.so.6()(64bit) The build machine has the following packages installed: $ rpm -q glibc glibc-2.18-11.fc20.ppc64p7 glibc-2.18-11.fc20.ppc So I guess the moral is we need to build it on the same architecture that we run it on. Is it not possible to install the glibc ppc64p7 package in Koji? That would be the easy way to solve this problem. I tried out a list of non-upstream qemu patches that Tom Musta supplied, and they worked well allowing libguestfs to run on ppc64p7. https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-02/msg03501.html Also upstream we are updating supermin so it can work from a list of packages rather than files, which will more generally solve this problem. A few people have asked me about this bug today. So: (1) Please try the Rawhide packages (or libguestfs and supermin). The dependency generation mechanism has changed completely. Any results you get on F20 are meaningless. (2) qemu 2.0 rc0 is in Rawhide, and that includes VSX support that was added by Tom Musta. This is required for libguestfs to work with ppc64p7, so you're going to have to use Rawhide. It should probably just work with Rawhide packages, but there may perhaps be further changes we have to make. (In reply to Richard W.M.

Actually, now you can try the F20 builds of supermin 5.1.6 and libguestfs 1.26.0, since those match upstream.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Description of problem: Trying to install libguestfs from PPC koji, I get the following error: $ rpm -ivh libguestfs-1.24.5-1.fc20.ppc64.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libosinfo is needed by libguestfs-1:1.24.5-1.fc20.ppc64 /lib64/power6/libc.so.6 is needed by libguestfs-1:1.24.5-1.fc20.ppc64 /lib64/power6/libm.so.6 is needed by libguestfs-1:1.24.5-1.fc20.ppc64 /lib64/power6/libpthread.so.0 is needed by libguestfs-1:1.24.5-1.fc20.ppc64 /lib64/power6/librt.so.1 is needed by libguestfs-1:1.24.5-1.fc20.ppc64 /lib64/power6/libthread_db.so.1 is needed by libguestfs-1:1.24.5-1.fc20.ppc64 /lib64/power6x/libc.so.6 is needed by libguestfs-1:1.24.5-1.fc20.ppc64 /lib64/power6x/libm.so.6 is needed by libguestfs-1:1.24.5-1.fc20.ppc64 /lib64/power6x/libpthread.so.0 is needed by libguestfs-1:1.24.5-1.fc20.ppc64 /lib64/power6x/librt.so.1 is needed by libguestfs-1:1.24.5-1.fc20.ppc64 /lib64/power6x/libthread_db.so.1 is needed by libguestfs-1:1.24.5-1.fc20.ppc64 /lib64/rtkaio/power6/librt.so.1 is needed by libguestfs-1:1.24.5-1.fc20.ppc64 /lib64/rtkaio/power6x/librt.so.1 is needed by libguestfs-1:1.24.5-1.fc20.ppc64 This only happens if I have the ppc64p7 version of glibc installed. This is probably related to the script libguestfs-find-requires.sh. Notice that the koji builders have the generic ppc64 version of glibc, which includes these power6 runtimes. But the optimized ppc64p7 version of glibc does *not* include the power6 runtime.
