Description Matthew Saltzman 2014-10-15 02:27:19 UTC
Description of problem:
The coin-or-Ipopt-devel package contains a dynamic library, but the packaging doesn't seem to follow the usual standards.  In particular, 
/lib64/libipopt.so is a symlink to /usr/lib/libipopt.so.1.9.9, but I think it should be a symlink to libipopt.so.1.  Also, /lib64/libipopt.so.1 should be a symlink to libipopt.so.1.9.9, but it is a file unto itself and not even identical to libipopt.so.1.9.9.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
coin-or-Ipopt-devel-3.11.9-3.fc20.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install coin-or-Ipopt-devel-3.11.9-3.fc20.x86_64
2. Install another package that runs ldconfig postinstall
3.

Actual results:
Second installation complains that libipopt.so.1 is not a symlink

Expected results:
No complaints.

Same here, as a result, I'm seeing scriptlet error output too, upgrading to coin-or-Ipopt-3.11.10-1.fc20

/sbin/ldconfig: /lib64/libipopt.so.1 is not a symbolic link

Comment 2 Matthew Saltzman 2015-01-23 02:57:52 UTC
And coin-or-Ipopt-3.11.10-1.fc21.

In this case, libipopt.so is a symlink to libipopt.so.1.9.10 and libipopt.so.1 is not a symlink.  I believe the correct convention is for libipopt.so to symlink to libipopt.so.1 and libipopt.so.1 to symlink to libipopt.so.1.9.10. Making these changes and rerunning ldconfig seems to fix the problem.

Comment 3 Antonio T. (sagitter) 2015-01-23 09:52:27 UTC
There was a problem with tests by making symlinks 
libipopt.so.1 --> libipopt.so.1.9.9
libipopt.so --> libipopt.so.1.9.9

I try to fix in this way

libipopt.so --> libipopt.so.1 --> libipopt.so.1.9.9

Just updated with coin-or-Ipopt-3.11.10-2.fc21.x86_64, and it appears that the fix you have is the former, not the latter.

$ ls -l /usr/lib64/libipopt.so*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root      18 Jan 23 08:24 /usr/lib64/libipopt.so -> libipopt.so.1.9.10
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root      18 Jan 23 08:24 /usr/lib64/libipopt.so.1 -> libipopt.so.1.9.10
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 2689728 Jan 23 08:25 /usr/lib64/libipopt.so.1.9.10

Was expecting libipopt.so -> libipopt.so.1

The update does suppress the warning, though.

Comment 9 Matthew Saltzman 2015-01-27 03:39:56 UTC
Note that several other coin-or-* projects have the same symlink structure as you had before, with libxxx.so -> libxxx.so.1.2.3.  On the other hand, several non-coin packages use the same convention, so your original fix is probably OK.  Consistency across coin-or-* packages would probably be meritorious, but so would minimizing the number of patches released in a short period.  Maybe go back to that in the next regular update, and apologies for misleading.
