Description Vít Ondruch 2016-03-21 14:02:12 UTC
Description of problem:
This does not work at all:

> require 'krb5_auth'
LoadError: /usr/lib64/gems/ruby/krb5-auth-0.7/krb5_auth.so: undefined symbol: STR2CSTR - /usr/lib64/gems/ruby/krb5-auth-0.7/krb5_auth.so
from /usr/share/rubygems/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:127:in `require'

There exists timfel-krb5-auth which seems to be maintained, but I have not tried it.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ rpm -q rubygem-krb5-auth 
rubygem-krb5-auth-0.7-17.fc24.x86_64


Additional info:
Not sure if this package should not be just retired ...

Comment 1 Chris Lalancette 2016-03-22 02:11:04 UTC
Yeah, it seems like we should retire this package.  There is nothing else that depends on it, and I haven't had any peeps on it in years.  Also, I don't know how long it it has been like this :).  So if you think agree, I'll just retire this package.

Comment 2 Vít Ondruch 2016-03-22 06:36:29 UTC
Chris, any chance you could talk to the author of timfel-krb5-auth to take over the krb5-auth upstream/merge back his changes?

Comment 3 Jan Kurik 2016-07-26 04:05:38 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle.
Changing version to '25'.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 19:33:31 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

This is still unresolved ...

Comment 6 Chris Lalancette 2017-11-22 22:26:19 UTC
Sorry for the long delay here.  I finally found some time to do the update.  I ended up changing over to using https://github.com/timfel/krb5-auth as the canonical upstream, which also brought in the fixes we need.  I've now built that into rawhide, f27, and f26.  The bodhi updates for the latter two are here:

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-71dba436e3
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-40788a8f17

I'm going to close this ticket out now; if you think we need to keep it open for some reason, feel free to reopen.  Thanks again for your patience.
