Description Christian Stadelmann 2014-03-22 19:41:14 UTC
The gcc-4.8.2-7.fc20.x86_64 package contains several symlinks to non-existent files. 

This affects
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/32 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/32/libstdc++.a -> ../../../i686-redhat-linux/4.8.2/libstdc++.a 
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/32 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/32/libmudflap.a -> ../../../i686-redhat-linux/4.8.2/libmudflap.a 
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/32 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/32/libitm.a -> ../../../i686-redhat-linux/4.8.2/libitm.a 
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/32 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/32/libstdc++.so -> ../../../../libstdc++.so.6.0.19 
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/32 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/32/libasan.a -> ../../../i686-redhat-linux/4.8.2/libasan.a 
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/32 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/32/libquadmath.a -> ../../../i686-redhat-linux/4.8.2/libquadmath.a 
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/32 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/32/libgomp.so -> ../../../../libgomp.so.1.0.0 
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/32 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/32/libmudflapth.a -> ../../../i686-redhat-linux/4.8.2/libmudflapth.a 
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/32 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/32/libgcc_s.so -> /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/32 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/32/libsupc++.a -> ../../../i686-redhat-linux/4.8.2/libsupc++.a 
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/32 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/32/libatomic.a -> ../../../i686-redhat-linux/4.8.2/libatomic.a 

Additional info:
all symlinks go to i686 libraries, but the package does not depend on those i686 packages. I think the x86_64 package should instead symlink to the x86_64 libraries.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 11:20:28 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The links are not incorrect, they are there on purpose and are satisfied if the corresponding multilib packages are installed.

Shouldn't they be part of the i686 subpackage then?

Comment 5 Jakub Jelinek 2018-05-21 16:13:10 UTC
No, they can't.  Say the libstdc++.i686 package doesn't really know whether it will be used by a 64-bit compiler - gcc-c++.x86_64, or 32-bit one - gcc-c++.i686, or neither of those, so it can't put symlinks in there, because the paths differ.
