Description Oron Peled 2012-05-24 21:21:24 UTC 
Description of problem:

The libguestfs package in F15 depends on /lib/libusb-1.0.so.0 (exact path)
instead of libusb-1.0.so.0 (just the library version).

This fails upgrading libusb1 to libusbx on F15

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

This problem exists only in F15:
 libguestfs-1.10.12-1.fc15.i686

The F16, F17, rawhide versions of libguestfs are OK.

How reproducible:

Demonstrate the problem:
# On a F15 box there is hard dependency on the library absolute path
# (and btw, also on libusb-0.1, but this is not the problem)

repoquery --requires libguestfs | grep usb
/lib/libusb-0.1.so.4
/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0

# The libguestfs is the only one with this weirdness:

repoquery --whatrequires /lib/libusb-1.0.so.0
libguestfs-1:1.10.2-1.fc15.i686
libguestfs-1:1.10.12-1.fc15.i686

# Other packages correctly depend on the library name only:
repoquery --whatrequires libusb-1.0.so.0 | wc -l
49

# On a F16, F17, rawhide boxes no output is produced
# (Hmmm.... no dependency at all on libusb/libusb1)


Additional info:

 * The libusbx package is an ABI compatible replacement for libusb1
   (bug #823886)

 * However, since its install path is in /usr/lib (as should be)
   and not /lib, the upgrade from libusb1 to libusbx fails if
   libguestfs is installed.
Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2012-05-25 07:22:56 UTC 
The path dependency is correct.  It loads the file, it doesn't
link to the library.

If the path is wrong, then it probably just needs a rebuild
to pick up the new path.  When libusbx is available in F15, let me
know and I'll bump the version and rebuild it.
Comment 2 Cole Robinson 2012-07-08 23:52:12 UTC 
Fedora 15 is end of life now, so sounds like this report isn't relevant anymore. Please reopen if this issue still exists in F16 or later
