Description repomaint-rhbz 2012-02-18 15:46:04 UTC

Description of problem:
libvpx causes prelink to fail and abort any further prelinking

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvpx-0.9.0-8.el6_0.i686
prelink-0.4.6-3.el6.i686

How reproducible:
install libvpx and prelink and the run prelink for example with:
/etc/cron.daily/prelink
The prelink log file /var/log/prelink/prelink.log will contain the error details

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install libvpx prelink
2. /etc/cron.daily/prelink
3. cat /var/log/prelink/prelink.log
  
Actual results:
cat /var/log/prelink/prelink.log
/usr/sbin/prelink -av -mR -q
Laying out 2 libraries in virtual address space 00101000-50000000
Random base 0x0f903000
/usr/sbin/prelink: Could not find virtual address slot for /usr/lib/libvpx.so.0
Prelink failed with return value 1

Expected results:
the log file should contain a long list of libraries and binaries that have been successfully prelinked, like this:
Prelinking /usr/bin/ppmcie
Prelinking /usr/bin/jpegtran
Prelinking /usr/sbin/setup
Prelinking /usr/sbin/selinuxconlist
Prelinking /usr/bin/rcs
Prelinking /usr/bin/xkbvleds

Additional info:
I consider this a high severity bug as it practically renders prelink useless when libvpx is installed and in addition causes rpm -Va to spit out loads of prelink related error messages.
The following Debian Bug report appears to be about the same issue and has for further details:

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2012-09-07 05:37:36 UTC

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 unable to address this
request at this time.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 3 Wim Taymans 2015-09-30 15:15:54 UTC

This should have been fix by upgrade to 1.3.0 for rhel 6.6
