find-debuginfo.sh fails to strip readonly object files, all perl modules
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:34 EST
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7 Description of problem: perl rpms install their lib data read-only. when the find-debuginfo.sh script runs it tries to strip the files but can't leaving huge rpms in many cases because of the debugging synbols. (found while developing perl-Glib/perl-Gtk2, http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/) the script's call to eu-string prints an error message near the end of the build process saying as much. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-build-4.2.1-0.30 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. building most any perl rpm seems to show this problem, perl-Glib. Additional info: /usr/share/man/man3/Glib::ParamSpec.3pm.gzX' = X ']' + /usr/lib/rpm/find-debuginfo.sh /home/rmcfarla/rpms/BUILD/Glib-1.030 extracting debug info from /var/tmp/perl-Glib-1.030-1-root/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Glib/Glib.so eu-strip: while opening "/var/tmp/perl-Glib-1.030-1-root/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Glib/Glib.so": Permission denied 408 blocks + /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-compress
Created attachment 96637 [details] possible fix patch that fixes the problem by temporarily u+w and then u-w, only if non-writeable.
Added in CVS, should be in rpm-4.2.2-0.8 and later.

brp-strip suffers from the same issue in rpm-4.3.1-0.3 issued with Fedora Core 2. Found while building spamassassin-3.0-pre1, which uses ExtUtils::Install to install ELF binary spamc mode 555: http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3535
