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.
Description of problem:
libcom_err-devel in RHEL6.7 does not provide /usr/include/com_err.h which causes trouble for various applications (including sssd)
Steps to reproduce (after bug #1170272 ("[RFE] Add LocalAuth plugin API") lands):
Try to compile this testcase...
-- snip --
#include <krb5/krb5.h>
#include <krb5/localauth_plugin.h>
int main(int ac, char *av[]) { return 0; }
-- snip --
... it will fail with:
-- snip --
/usr/include/kadm5/admin.h:48:28: error: com_err.h: No such file or directory
-- snip --
The same will happen with the sssd build in RHEL6.7:
-- snip --
configure:21977: checking for krb5/localauth_plugin.h
configure:22003: gcc -c -O0 -ggdb -pipe -Wall -Wextra -Wshadow -Wformat -Wformat-security -Werror=unused-function -Wunused-variable -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-sign-compare -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE conftest.c >&5
In file included from /usr/include/krb5/localauth_plugin.h:65,
from conftest.c:126:
/usr/include/kadm5/admin.h:48:28: error: com_err.h: No such file or directory
-- snip --
Suggested fix:
Backport newest libcom_err package version to RHEL6.7
COM_ERR(3) COM_ERR(3)
NAME
com_err - common error display routine
SYNOPSIS
#include <et/com_err.h>
# rpm -qpl libcom_err-devel-1.41.12-21.el6.x86_64.rpm | grep include
/usr/include/et
/usr/include/et/com_err.h
Somebody is including the wrong header file path, but that's not an e2fsprogs bug.
