Description Pavel Raiskup 2015-11-18 15:45:35 UTC
If we apply our RPATH hack on generated libtool, package fails to build if
(a) the original ltmain.sh is patched by debian _and_ (b) there are two
libraries libA and libB to be installed into ${libdir} _and_ (c)
libA_la_LIBADD = libB.la.

This happened recently in 'hplip' package.  This might be known issue but
I haven't done much observation yet.  So this is aimed to be rather
documentation bug (maybe only? for me).

This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.

Comment 4 Ondrej Dubaj 2021-10-06 11:47:45 UTC
According to the low priority of this request and as it did not bother any user for years, I am closing this tracker. If you think this issue should be handled and investigated, feel free to reopen it.
