Description John Ellson 2009-03-03 02:21:53 UTC

Description of problem:
mkinitrd fails with: "cp: cannot stat `/usr/lib64//libparted-1.8.so.8.0.0': No such file or directory"

Probably because this file doesn't exist since parted moved stuff around.  Perhaps it should be looking for: /lib64/libparted-1.8.so.8.0.0

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mkinitrd-6.0.78-2.fc11.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.29-0.179.rc6.git5.fc11.x86_64.img 2.6.29-0.179.rc6.git5.fc11.x86_64
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
cp: cannot stat `/usr/lib64//libparted-1.8.so.8.0.0': No such file or directory

Expected results:


Additional info:
The installed kernel panics during boot.  I haven't checked yet, but it could be for the same reason.

Comment 1 Hans de Goede 2009-03-03 09:07:28 UTC

Can you do "ls -l /usr/lib64/libparted*" please and paste the output here? I think you've got a dangling libparted-1.8.so.8 symlink under there.

Comment 2 John Ellson 2009-03-03 21:53:58 UTC

root@ontap:~# yum reinstall parted
...
Removed:
  parted.x86_64 0:1.8.8-14.fc11                                                 

Installed:
  parted.x86_64 0:1.8.8-14.fc11                                                 

Complete!
root@ontap:~# ls /usr/lib*/libpart* /lib*/libpart*
/lib64/libparted-1.8.so.8      /usr/lib64/libparted-1.8.so.8
/lib64/libparted-1.8.so.8.0.0  /usr/lib64/libparted.so
root@ontap:~#

Comment 3 John Ellson 2009-03-03 22:01:50 UTC

sorry, that was supposed to be ls -l...

the two in /usr/lib64 were softlinks, but not dangling


I just did:

# rm /usr/lib*/libpart* /lib*/libpart*
# yum reinstall parted

now the links in /usr/lib64/ are gone.

Looks like parted rpm isn't cleaning up properly.


mkinitrd seems happier now ...   rebooting ....

Comment 4 Hans de Goede 2009-03-08 10:06:50 UTC

Ok, I think you've hit some packaging bug in parted, closing as not a bug (because it is not an mkinitrd bug).

Comment 5 Hans de Goede 2009-05-25 08:23:58 UTC

Ok, so I can reproduce this now, and this is a real issue, re-opening and
then closing as a dup of the bug were this will be tracked, please see that
bug for more details and add yourself to the CC if you want to kept up2date.
