Description Przemek Klosowski 2017-05-16 17:13:18 UTC
Description of problem:
systemtap binaries in /usr/bin/stap{,-prep,-report} are provided by both systemtap-client and systemtap-devel. This is probably a packaging bug, found while reviewing file duplication between packages---it turns out it's the only such duplicate (other than 'alternatives'-handled /usr/bin/mailq)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable)
systemtap-client-3.1-2.fc25.x86_64
systemtap-devel-3.1-2.fc25.x86_64

How reproducible: very

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -qf /usr/bin/stab

Actual results:
systemtap-devel-3.1-2.fc25.x86_64
systemtap-client-3.1-2.fc25.x86_64

Expected results:
systemtap-client-3.1-2.fc25.x86_64

Comment 1 Frank Ch. Eigler 2017-05-16 17:39:49 UTC
Thanks for your report.  It turns out that this is a deliberate decision.  As outlined within the .spec file, the -devel subrpm is for building systemtap modules (running pass 1..4); the -client subrpm is for being able to build systemtap modules -remotely-.  Both those tasks happen to be performed by the same binary.
