RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Proposed patch - only move libraries, not libdir. none

Description Tuomo Soini 2014-10-15 07:33:24 UTC
Created attachment 947115 [details]
Proposed patch - only move libraries, not libdir.

Description of problem:

Last change for libestr breaks pkgconfig so libee can't be build against released version.

 * Tue Aug 26 2014 Petr Lautrbach <plautrba> 0.1.9-2
 - move libraries from /usr/lib* to /lib*
   resolves: #1133999

That change wrong changes definition of libdir to point to /%{_lib} causing libestr.pc to be installed to /%{_lib}/pkgconfig/libestr.pc so pkgconfig won't find the file.

Thanks for the patch. I'll see whether this can be fixed in the next minor release.
