Description Ben Smith 2004-03-07 04:59:21 UTC

Description of problem:

When running rpm --verify from the 'rescue' boot option on the install
CD, rpm is confused by prelinked binaries (since prelink is not
available) and mistakenly reports them as modified.

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Boot from install cd
2.  Select 'linux rescue'
3.  Follow the instructions and mount your root partition.
4.  rpm -r /mnt/sysimage -Va
  
Actual results:

Prelinked binaries are reported as having changed size/md5sum.

Expected results:

RPM should detect prelinked binaries.

Additional info:

AFAICT, the prelink binary just needs to be added to the 'rescue'
image.  That should enable rpm to correctly detect prelinked binaries.

Comment 3 Ben Smith 2004-06-19 23:26:22 UTC

Tested with FC2 and, while prelink is present, it also needs a 
couple of configuration files in order to work properly: 
 
/etc/prelink.conf <-- can be blank, but should be present 
/etc/rpm/macros.prelink <-- from the prelink package 
 
'/etc/rpm/macros.prelink' just needs to contain the following line: 
%__prelink_undo_cmd     /usr/sbin/prelink prelink -y library
