Description Panu Matilainen 2016-03-15 12:58:07 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1281913 +++

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.

--- Additional comment from Panu Matilainen on 2015-11-16 04:24:36 EST ---

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 for this?

Thanks!

Jean

Install openvswitch-debuginfo, look for broken symlinks in it.

With 2.5.0-1 below are the three broken symlinks:

root@netqe17 ~]# ll -l /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/28/dd8009a6485600531dc328ed0d214145221d23

[root@netqe17 ~]#

openvswitch-debuginfo-2.5.0-1.el7.x86_64
openvswitch-2.5.0-1.el7.x86_64

But, with 2.5.0-3, there are no such broken symlinks.
