Description Bob Plankers 2005-01-20 22:22:47 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.7.5)
Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Description of problem:
It appears /usr/lib/libdb.so.3 is missing from the
compat-db-4.0.14-5.1 package. An "rpm --verify --all" reports:

missing    /usr/lib/libdb.so.3

I downloaded the RPM from RHN and did an "rpm -ihv --force
compat-db-4.0.14-5.1.i386.rpm". I then redid the "rpm --verify --all"
and I continued to get:

missing    /usr/lib/libdb.so.3

The 'locate' command on my machine shows the file present as
/lib/libdb.so.3. The "rpm -qf /usr/lib/libdb.so.3" command returns
compat-db as the package that owns that file. The same command on
/lib/libdb.so.3 returns "file /lib/libdb.so.3 is not owned by any package"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
compat-db-4.0.14-5.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -ihv --force compat-db-4.0.14-5.1.i386.rpm
2. rpm --verify --all
3.
    

Actual Results:  missing    /usr/lib/libdb.so.3

Expected Results:  The file shouldn't be missing. :-)

Is this with RHEL3Update4? What version of rpm is installed?

Thanks,

Florian La Roche


Comment 2 Bob Plankers 2005-01-25 15:33:21 UTC
compat-db-4.0.14-5.1.i386.rpm -- the one that came with RHEL3Update4.

Comment 3 James Olin Oden 2005-02-10 16:54:11 UTC
jbj, this is real bug.  If you take out the %clean scriptlet and then go 
examine the /usr/lib in the build root, you will see that symlinks in question 
are there but they point to files that should be in /usr/lib.  Instead the 
files they point are in /lib.  So what you get are dangling symlinks that get 
delivered by the FSM, but as soon as the post script runs ldconfig, ldconfig 
sees the dangling symlinks and poof it removes (in RH 9 it would actually 
complain, but doesn't appear to do so in RHEL 3).  Anyway the fix is to get the 
makefiles to create the symlinks appropriately or have it create the libraries:

   libdb2.so.3  libdb-3.1.so  libdb-3.2.so  libdb-3.3.so  libdb-4.0.so

in /usr/lib rather than /lib.  Any hints on how to go about doing this would be 
appreciated, because missing files like this cause serious breakage on a 
rollback (the get packaged up, but then you get a cpio error upon delivery).

Cheers...james

Comment 12 Tomas Mraz 2006-02-14 14:47:05 UTC
The fix is not completely correct as ldconfig will create libdb.so.3 symlink in
/lib(64) so it should be in the same place in the package and not in
/usr/lib(64)/. Back to assigned.
