Description Steve Grubb 2010-07-15 14:45:32 UTC 
Description of problem:
During the build of openscap, it would fail creating the perl bindings with the following error message:

test -z "/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/" || /bin/mkdir -p 
"/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/openscap-0.6.0-1.el6.i386/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/"
 /bin/sh ../libtool   --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c   _openscap_pm.la 
'/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/openscap-0.6.0-1.el6.i386/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/'
libtool: install: error: cannot install `_openscap_pm.la' to a directory not 
ending in /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/

Comment 1 Petr Pisar 2010-07-15 16:39:27 UTC 
This bug can be easily circumvent by removing trailing slash from vendor paths in perl configuration. Feel free to reassign to perl if you think fixing libtool is to hard.
Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2010-07-15 16:56:40 UTC 
Given that a full libtool fix would involve regenerating the local copies of libtool in many packages, I'd opt for the perl fix for now.
Comment 3 Petr Pisar 2010-07-15 17:15:24 UTC 
Trivial fix:
