Description Tzafrir Cohen 2019-06-11 15:20:03 UTC

Description of problem:

I build an rpm of a kmod package (with kernel modules). Those modules have some aliases for PCI and USB hardware.

The same package when built on RHEL 7.6, provides modalias() Provides for those aliases.

On RHEL 8.0 those aliases are not created. This seems to be because /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/find-provides only calls scripts /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/find-provides.d/*.prov if they are executable, and the two scripts /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/find-provides.d/*.prov (modalias and firmware) are not executable.

Once I run:

  chmod +x /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/find-provides.d/*.prov

and rebuild, the newly-built package provides modalias()-s as in RHEL 7.6 .
