Description Alexei Podtelezhnikov 2018-01-21 19:08:10 UTC
When libtool is used in the link mode with -export-symbols, it wraps the symbols into a version script .libs/libxxx.ver for the shared library. Then it forgets to clean after itself when called in the clean mode.

.libs/libxxx.ver is a dependency of the .libs/libxxx.so so it should be removed when cleaning the library.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life.
On 2018-Nov-30  Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 27. 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that are no longer maintained.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 '27'.

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

Comment 3 Ondrej Dubaj 2021-10-06 11:44:06 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.

Comment 4 Alexei Podtelezhnikov 2021-10-06 12:14:02 UTC
No problem. I was just hoping you can lobby upstream to fix it. If you do not feel like it, so be it.
