Description Petr Pisar 2015-11-05 08:28:21 UTC

Some packages deliver files under /usr/share/licenses:

# ls /usr/share/licenses
cryptsetup-libs-1.6.7              elfutils-0.163      openssh-6.6.1p1
device-mapper-event-libs-1.02.107  gmp-6.0.0           source-to-image-1.0.2
device-mapper-libs-1.02.107        krb5-libs-1.13.2    systemd-219
elfutils-libelf-0.163              lvm2-libs-2.02.130  systemtap-sdt-devel-2.8
elfutils-libs-0.163                lvm2-2.02.130

For example:

# rpm -qf /usr/share/licenses/lvm2-2.02.130/
lvm2-2.02.130-5.el7.x86_64

But the /usr/share/licenses is not provided by any package:

# LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 rpm -qf /usr/share/licenses
file /usr/share/licenses is not owned by any package

The /usr/share/licenses should be owned by filesystem package.

Affected package: filesystem-3.2-20.el7.x86_64.

Comment 1 Ondrej Vasik 2015-11-05 20:49:51 UTC

Hmmms, /usr/share/licenses is owned by filesystem since Jul 28 2014 (#1121416) - it was too late for RHEL 7.0. But as %license started to work in fedora 19, it make sense to do that change in RHEL 7 as well. Thanks for report.
