Description Matthew Miller 2004-07-15 15:51:43 UTC

When I rebuild the ethereal-0.10.5-0.2.1.src.rpm, the resulting
packages won't install, complaining about a missing dependency
'libethereal.so.0'. 

A bit more investigation reveals this interesting difference:

Original FC2 package:

$ rpm -qlp ethereal-0.10.3-2.i386.rpm |grep libethereal
/usr/lib/libethereal.so
/usr/lib/libethereal.so.0
/usr/lib/libethereal.so.0.0.1   

Update package:

$ rpm -qlp ethereal-0.10.5-0.2.1.i386.rpm |grep libethereal
/usr/lib/libethereal
/usr/lib/libethereal.0
/usr/lib/libethereal.0.0.1

Hey! What happened to the .so? This is the case with both my rebuilt
package
and the distributed update binary.

But there's more -- 


Original FC2 package:

$ rpm -qlp ethereal-0.10.3-2.i386.rpm |grep ethereal/plugins
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.3
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.3/acn.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.3/artnet.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.3/asn1.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.3/ciscosm.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.3/coseventcomm.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.3/cosnaming.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.3/docsis.so   
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.3/enttec.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.3/gryphon.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.3/irda.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.3/lwres.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.3/megaco.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.3/mgcp.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.3/pcli.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.3/rdm.so 
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.3/rlm.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.3/rtnet.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.3/rudp.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.3/v5ua.so


Update package:

$ rpm -qlp ethereal-0.10.5-0.2.1.i386.rpm | grep ethereal/plugins
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.5


My rebuilt version of the update package:

$ rpm -qlp ethereal-0.10.5-0.2.1bu40.1.i386.rpm | grep ethereal/plugins
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.5
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.5/acn.so 
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.5/artnet.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.5/asn1.so  
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.5/ciscosm.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.5/coseventcomm.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.5/cosnaming.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.5/docsis.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.5/enttec.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.5/gryphon.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.5/irda.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.5/lwres.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.5/megaco.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.5/mgcp.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.5/pcli.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.5/rdm.so  
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.5/rlm.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.5/rtnet.so
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.5/rudp.so 
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.5/v5ua.so


And, it turns out that these plugins are the ones that are linked
against the missing libethereal.so.0 -- the update binary only works
because it's missing all of its plugins.

This also appears to be the case in the FC3 test package.

Comment 2 Phil Knirsch 2004-07-15 16:06:55 UTC

Jup, checking...

Read ya, Phil

Comment 3 Matthew Miller 2004-07-15 18:07:03 UTC

Adding 'libtoolize --force' to before aclocal, automake, etc., in the
%prep section of the spec file seems to fix the problem. I don't know
if this is the right thing to do, though.

Comment 4 Phil Knirsch 2004-07-16 13:16:14 UTC

Jup, just checked, that works. I'll include that fix and will make new
rpms for FC1 and FC2, too.

And in think it's the right fix, we oftentimes had to use libtoolize
in the past (so a know source of problems).

Read ya, Phil
