Description Martin Tournoij 2011-06-28 12:40:04 UTC

Description of problem:
/etc/cron.daily/prelink stpres a cachefile as /etc/prelink.cache
 This is not a good location to store a cache file.
 A much better location would be /var/cache/prelink/prelink.cache for example.

 This is a bit of a small issue, I know, but my incremental backups of /etc/ keep changing every day because of this ...


Additional info:
I'm running CentOS 5.6, original report here, was told to make a new report@redhat

As Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 has now entered Production Phase 2, this bug has been re-evaluated with the conclusion that a fix would not be appropriate at this time. Consequently this bug is being closed. Please contact your Red Hat representative if a review is required.
