Description Florian Weimer 2012-11-02 08:50:39 UTC
I noticed something odd about the papi package.  It contains two copies of the DSO which provides the soname "libpapi.so":

soname: libpapi.so
    * /usr/lib64/libpapi.so.5.0.1 (from papi-5.0.1-2.fc18.x86_64)
      /usr/lib64/libpapi.so.5.0.1.0 (from papi-5.0.1-2.fc18.x86_64)

The files are not bit-wise identical, but appear to be equivalent in all aspects that matter.

Comment 1 William Cohen 2012-11-13 16:34:15 UTC
A patch has been submitted and accepted into the upstream papi package:

http://lists.eecs.utk.edu/pipermail/perfapi-devel/2012-November/005840.html

This has been incorporated into papi-5.0.1-3.

Comment 2 William Cohen 2012-11-13 16:49:42 UTC
Florian said it the duplicated library has been removed and things now look good in papi-5.0.1-3.
