Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 197546
/etc/cron.daily/prelink aborts with error on vanilla system
Last modified: 2012-06-20 09:17:10 EDT
Description of problem: Every time /etc/cron.daily/prelink runs, it aborts with an error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): prelink-0.3.3-0.EL4 How reproducible: totally consistant across five systems. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run the command /etc/cron.daily/prelink 2. See the STDERR: ./prelink: line 47: 30548 Aborted /usr/sbin/prelink -av $PRELINK_OPTS >>/var/log/ prelink.log 2>&1 3. Look at the contents of /var/log/prelink.log (which is attached.) Actual results: output on stderr every night from every machine. Expected results: no output on stderr for an unmodified command on an unmodified system. Additional info: /var/log/prelink.log attached.
Created attachment 131890 [details] /var/log/prelink.log after the error is generated.
Problem resolved by appending "-l /usr/local/lib{,64}" to /etc/prelink.conf.
No, this does not solve the problem here. # tail /var/log/prelink.log Prelinking /sbin/pivot_root Prelinking /usr/X11R6/bin/makepsres Prelinking /usr/bin/dcopclient Prelinking /usr/lib/vte/gnome-pty-helper Prelinking /usr/bin/valgrind-listener Prelinking /usr/X11R6/bin/xlsfonts Prelinking /usr/sbin/kudzu Prelinking /usr/bin/tail Prelinking /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/hypertorus Prelink failed with return value 134 strace: brk(0x11b3000) = 0x11b3000 close(3) = 0 utime("/usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/hypertorus.#prelink#.dobrOw", [2007/01/04-14:43:41, 2006/04/20-18:43:46]) = 0 rename("/usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/hypertorus.#prelink#.dobrOw", "/usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/hypertorus") = 0 stat("/usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/hypertorus", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=77680, ...}) = 0 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, [ABRT], NULL, 8) = 0 getpid() = 4970 kill(4970, SIGABRT) = 0 --- SIGABRT (Aborted) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGABRT +++ /etc/prelink.conf has: -l /usr/local/lib{,64} Sys: EL4 U4 x86_64, Dell PE1850 I have deleted prelink.cache to test, prelink.cache is never recreated.
