Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 10765
when kpackage starts it suggests re-linking
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:37:55 EDT
When I start kpackage I get the message: [root@marvin /root]# kpackage kpackage: Symbol `rpmHeaderFormats' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking
Seeing the message mentioned, and being very accustomed to building my own RPM's, I took the provided SRPM and rebuilt using "rpm -ba kpackage.spec". This eliminates the loader message, but causes a strange behavior. To replicate, follow these steps: 1)Rebuild the package. 2)Load a RPM which attempting to install would generate errors (duplicate files, etc.) into kpackage via a single-click on the package. 3)Do a test install (which generates error dialogs). 4) Cancel the install. 5)Viola. An errant error dialog results, and above the RPM section is now an erroneous KISS section. I am going to attempt to attach xwd files which illustrate the errors.
The problem is your kpackage was linked against either a newer or older version of kde-libs and thus the problems. Recompiling from SRPMS should fix it though I suggest updating any older components that may be the culprate as there is usually a reason a newer version came out ;) -Stan Bubrouski
fixed for the upcoming release of 7.0.
