Description Flos Qi Guo 2022-12-21 04:48:46 UTC

> Description of problem:
compiler-rt contains lots of broken symbolic links which point to non-existing files.

> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
compiler-rt-14.0.6-1.module+el8.7.0+15816+ec020e8f.x86_64 and even on RHEL9.

> How reproducible:
100%

> Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fresh install a RHEL8.
2. Enable rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms channel.
3. Install compiler-rt.
4. Check files under '/usr/lib64/clang/14.0.6/lib/linux'.

> Actual results:
Files with 'i386' in their names point to invalid files.

> Expected results:
No broken symbolic links.

> Additional info:
Need to handle the '*i386*' files better.

Hello,

The problem is that you SHOULD NOT force a user to install "compiler-rt.i686" when one only use "compiler-rt.x86_64". As I mentioned before, the "compiler-rt.x86_64" relies on the files provided by "compiler-rt.i686", if "compiler-rt.i686" is not installed, then the "compiler-rt.x86_64" will have lots of broken symbolic links which point to non-existing files.

It's blocking the backup and restore procedure of another product 'rear', as it'll check the non-existing files of system's RPM.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Flos
