Description Oliver Kurth 2016-01-29 22:37:36 UTC 
Description of problem:

Kernel RPM packages built from source fail to install due to wrong requirements: 'kysm' instead of kernel'

The issue looks very similar to bugs https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=642768 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=767738

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
9.0.3-44

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
Set LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 and build kmod package from source, eg:

rpmbuild --rebuild vmware-tools-pvscsi-1.2.3.0-2.6.32.71.el6.i686.5.el6.src.rpm
and try to install the resultin binary rpm. It  will fail.

Actual results:
error: Failed dependencies:
...
 ksym(free_pages) = 0x4302d0eb is needed by kmod-vmware-tools-pvscsi-0:1.2.3.0-2.6.32.573.el6.x86_64.5.el6.x86_64
 ksym(scsi_add_device) = 0x9d8c0f66 is needed by kmod-vmware-tools-pvscsi-0:1.2.3.0-2.6.32.573.el6.x86_64.5.el6.x86_64


Expected results:
No failed depenencies on kernel symbols.

Additional info:

The issue can be fixed easily by replacing all occurrences of LANG=C with LC_ALL=C in /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/find-requires.ksyms

Created attachment 1119548 [details]
repclace LANG=C with LC_ALL=C

Attaching a patch that fixes the problem. All it does is s/LANG=C/LC_ALL=C/g.

Yes, we can fix it in 6.8.
Comment 9 Ľuboš Kardoš 2016-02-09 15:46:23 UTC 
The real problem here is:
    
    LANG=C join -t '\t' -j 1 ...

Delimiter '\t' is literally interpreted as '\t' and not as a tabulator. This confuses join command and it is not able to join input data correctly.

I replaced '\t' with $'\t' and to be 100% sure, I also added LC_LANG=C.

Fixed in redhat-rpm-config-9.0.3-48.el6
