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.

Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
If a Perl script in a package contained a string declared as a here-document that included the "use" or "require" words, or a multiline string with these words, the package in some cases had incorrect dependencies when it was created using the "rpmbuild" command. Now, the "use" and "require" strings are ignored as keywords in here-documents and multiline strings, which prevents the problem from occurring.

Description Marek Marusic 2015-02-17 07:41:30 UTC 
Present also on RHEL7

Version-Release number of selected component:
4.11.1-25.el7

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #921969 +++

Fix available upstream.


+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #569773 +++

Description of problem:
If you want to build a package which is depended on another package, and detects it with pkgconfig it won't get detected if this other package is in a non standard path (which was set in PKG_CONFIG_PATH)
The patch from bug 212522 creates this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=212522

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.4.2.3-18

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install/build something with another prefix path (for example /usr/broken), with a pkgconfig file, like eventlog: http://www.balabit.com/downloads/files/eventlog/0.2/
2. set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to the prefix path from step 1
3. build something with rpmbuild which detects in it's configure where the package from step 1 is located, like syslog-ng: http://www.balabit.com/downloads/files/syslog-ng/
  
Actual results:
pkgconfig reports the package is not found, this works when building from commandline, or with all rpm(build) packages before 4.4.2.3-18

Expected results:
pkgconfig should find the package.

Additional info:
The PKG_CONFIG_PATH is actually set by another package we build.

Proposed fix:
Modify the patch form the other the bug mentioned above so it does not overwrite the PKG_CONFIG_PATH but extends it.
