Description Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2018-05-24 09:31:52 UTC
Description of problem:
Thunderbird exposes private libraries from %{_libdir}/thunderbird in package metadata. These should be filtered from both Provides: and Requires:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
thunderbird-52.7.0-1.fc28.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ls -1 /usr/lib64/thunderbird/lib*.so
2. rpm -q --provides thunderbird | egrep 'lib(ldap60|ldif60|gpllibs|moz(gtk|sandbox|sqlite3)|prldap60|xul)'
3. rpm -q --requires thunderbird | egrep 'lib(ldap60|ldif60|gpllibs|moz(gtk|sandbox|sqlite3)|prldap60|xul)'

Actual results:
$ ls -1 /usr/lib64/thunderbird/lib*.so
/usr/lib64/thunderbird/libldap60.so
/usr/lib64/thunderbird/libldif60.so
/usr/lib64/thunderbird/liblgpllibs.so
/usr/lib64/thunderbird/libmozgtk.so
/usr/lib64/thunderbird/libmozsandbox.so
/usr/lib64/thunderbird/libmozsqlite3.so
/usr/lib64/thunderbird/libprldap60.so
/usr/lib64/thunderbird/libxul.so
$ rpm -q --provides thunderbird | egrep 'lib(ldap60|ldif60|gpllibs|moz(gtk|sandbox|sqlite3)|prldap60|xul)'
libldap60.so()(64bit)
libldif60.so()(64bit)
libmozgtk.so()(64bit)
libmozsandbox.so()(64bit)
libmozsqlite3.so()(64bit)
libprldap60.so()(64bit)
libxul.so()(64bit)
libxul.so(xul52)(64bit)
$ rpm -q --requires thunderbird | egrep 'lib(ldap60|ldif60|gpllibs|moz(gtk|sandbox|sqlite3)|prldap60|xul)'
libldap60.so()(64bit)
libldif60.so()(64bit)
libmozgtk.so()(64bit)
libmozsandbox.so()(64bit)
libmozsqlite3.so()(64bit)
libprldap60.so()(64bit)
libxul.so()(64bit)
libxul.so(xul52)(64bit)

Expected results:
The above rpm -q --provides/--requires output should be empty.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life.
On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 28. 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that are no longer maintained.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 '28'.

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 28 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.
