Description avkaplmkt 2015-04-16 14:43:36 UTC

Description of problem:

The iText 2.1.7-27 library package installed via YUM in Fedora 21 x86_64 only is incomplete and only includes the following text files:

/usr/share/doc/itext/MPL-1.1.txt
/usr/share/doc/itext/apache_license.txt
/usr/share/doc/itext/lgpl.txt
/usr/share/doc/itext/misc_licenses.txt

While in Fedora 20 x86_64 it also has:

/usr/lib64/gcj/itext/itext-2.1.7.jar.db
/usr/lib64/gcj/itext/itext-2.1.7.jar.so

This is a problem because the packages pdftk and PDF Chain requires a working iText to function.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.1.7-27

How reproducible: Always reproducible

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install package pdftk.
2. Run command pdftk from a terminal.
3. It shows the error: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib64/gcj/itext/itext-2.1.7.jar.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Actual results:

"error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib64/gcj/itext/itext-2.1.7.jar.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Expected results: PDFTK to work

Additional info:

There is the iText-core package, but it only has the following and no itext-2.1.7.jar.so:

/usr/share/doc/itext-core/MPL-1.1.txt
/usr/share/doc/itext-core/apache_license.txt
/usr/share/doc/itext-core/lgpl.txt
/usr/share/doc/itext-core/misc_licenses.txt
/usr/share/java/itext.jar
/usr/share/maven-metadata/itext.xml
/usr/share/maven-poms/JPP-itext.pom
