Cause:
The pkgconfig configuration files of OpenSSL libraries contained invalid libdir value.
Consequence:
There are no real consequences apart from the invalid libdir appearing on compilation command lines when the libdir from the OpenSSL pkgconfig files is used.
Fix:
The pkgconfig files were corrected to provide a correct libdir value.
Result:
There is no incorrect libdir value in the OpenSSL pkgconfig files anymore.

Yes, this is caused by the .pc fixup in the spec file that is no longer needed and thus wrong. This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an exception in the current release, please ask your support representative. When you say next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux do you mean RHEL 7 or RHEL 6.3 (or whatever is next in 6.x)? *** Bug 752750 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 816523 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** (In reply to comment #5) > When you say next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux do you mean RHEL 7 or > RHEL 6.3 (or whatever is next in 6.x)? It might be either depending on the proper prioritization of bug fixes and package errata in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Also if you want to raise the priority of the bug fix, please use the regular support channels (http://www.redhat.com/support) to report the problem. I'm sorry, am I missing something here ? there are typos in 3 files, and this "can't be updated" ? surly this is a simple fix to the existing package, it's not a product update it's fixing 3 typos is there something I am missing here ? I think you're missing the thing that every package change in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, even a simple rebuild, must go through extensive quality assurance process. yes, I'm aware it must go through quality assurance and testing, but I'm lost at why 3 typos that are an easy fix will not be put through that process, especially for core components like SSL for security. what is really funny about this is that I believe I have counted at least 5 openssl updates being released since I reported this issue. Yes to both issues here. It's a simple fix, and there have been several openssl updates. Numerous chances to batch this in with other changes. I would also disagree with the comments at the top: "There are no real consequences" Um, you cannot build or rebuild RPM packages without this patch. That's a very real consequence. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory, and where to find the updated files, follow the link below. If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2013-0443.html |
