Description Flavio Leitner 2015-11-13 19:09:02 UTC 
Description of problem:

openvswitch-dpdk RPM package doesn't ship all the binaries, so some of them are intentionally out.  However, the debuginfo package contains broken symlinks to them which triggers OSP alarms.

Expected results:
No broken symlinks.
Comment 1 Panu Matilainen 2015-11-16 09:24:36 UTC 
Debuginfo extraction doesn't know about spec level %exclude's (see bug 878863), so files that are not packaged at all need to be physically removed from the buildroot.

This is done in openvswitch-dpdk for the sub-package contents (see line 246-254) but I hadn't noticed there are such %excludes (ovs-benchmark etc) present in the upstream ovs spec. The same buggy %excludes are in the regular openvswitch package too, so it'll be affected as well.

Hi Panu,

Do you have a reproducer?

Thanks!

Install openvswitch-dpdk-debuginfo, look for broken symlinks.
Comment 5 Jean-Tsung Hsiao 2016-06-28 12:15:41 UTC 
Saw the following broken symlinks with ovs-2.5.0-1:

[root@netqe5 openvswitch]# ls -l
/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/99/55b578571b36c283dbc3701989f610ec85396a
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 40 Jun 27 23:01
/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/99/55b578571b36c283dbc3701989f610ec85396a ->
../../../../sbin/ovs-vlan-bug-workaround
[root@netqe5 openvswitch]# ls -l
/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/44/fd46a62a8a0d62227c9eff784b57bbea1417d2
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 29 Jun 27 23:01
/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/44/fd46a62a8a0d62227c9eff784b57bbea1417d2 ->
../../../../bin/ovs-benchmark


But, not  with ovs-2.5.0-4.
