Description Bryce Nesbitt 2006-08-29 06:18:07 UTC
This is on a brand-new fc5 server.  Just about any "rpm verfify" command gives
something like:

# rpm -qV lynx
prelink: /usr/bin/lynx: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since
prelinking
S.?.....    /usr/bin/lynx

rpm --verify postgresql-server
prelink: /usr/bin/initdb: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since
prelinking
S.?.....    /usr/bin/initdb
prelink: /usr/bin/pg_controldata: at least one of file's dependencies has
changed since prelinking
S.?.....    /usr/bin/pg_controldata
prelink: /usr/bin/pg_ctl: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since
prelinking
S.?.....    /usr/bin/pg_ctl



This is fine... but... there's no clue given as to how to learn which files have
actually changed.

Comment 1 Bryce Nesbitt 2006-08-29 06:19:02 UTC
For reference:

# prelink --all
prelink: /usr/bin/wvdialconf: NOBITS section followed by non-NOBITS section in
the same segment
prelink: /usr/bin/wvdial: NOBITS section followed by non-NOBITS section in the
same segment


Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2006-08-30 23:17:48 UTC
The msg is from prelink, not rpm. You'll get a better and faster answer if
you reassign this bug to prelink.

Comment 3 Bryce Nesbitt 2006-08-30 23:52:08 UTC
I have no idea what prelink is... but I'll send it over there too.

Comment 6 Bug Zapper 2008-05-06 16:16:29 UTC
This bug is open for a Fedora version that is no longer maintained and
will not be fixed by Fedora. Therefore we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen thus bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 7 Nils Philippsen 2009-11-05 10:25:04 UTC
I've stumbled over this on current (i.e. pre F-12) Rawhide:

[root@gibraltar ~]# rpm -Vf /lib64/libvolume_id.so.1.1.0
prelink: /lib64/libvolume_id.so.1.1.0: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking
S.?......    /lib64/libvolume_id.so.1.1.0

Florian Festi found that prelink provides this RPM macro which should give the un-prelinked binary contents on stdout:

/etc/rpm/macros.prelink:

# rpm-4.1 verifies prelinked libraries using a prelink undo helper.
#       Note: The 2nd token is used as argv[0] and "library" is a
#       placeholder that will be deleted and replaced with the appropriate
#       library file path.
%__prelink_undo_cmd     /usr/sbin/prelink prelink -y library

Unfortunately, this doesn't work if un-prelinking and prelinking again doesn't produce a file identical to the original one. I assume this doesn't work if dependencies change or whatever.

Instead of "prelink -y ...", "prelink -u ..." could be used if it were able to spit out the contents to stdout:

- "prelink -u -o - ..." produces a file named "-" containing the original binary
- "prelink -u -o /dev/stdout ..." replaces /dev/stdout with the binary contents
- "prelink -u -o /proc/self/fd/1 ..." doesn't work at all (besides not being very portable)

Alternatively to making the above work, one could add a "--stdout" option to be used with "-u" (or a "--always" for use with "-y"). Regardless of the solution, /etc/rpm/macros.prelink needs to be adapted as well.

Comment 8 Bug Zapper 2009-11-16 07:52:17 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle.
Changing version to '12'.

Comment 9 Need Real Name 2009-11-20 20:58:55 UTC
I am having the same problem on my new Fedora install.
Many rpms seem to give this error on at least one file.

Also, presumably as a result, the corresponding file has the following result code:
   S.?......

(indicating a problem with both the size and md5um)

Though could anybody explain why I get a question mark(?) rather than the usual five (5)?

In any case it is a pretty severe problem since it makes it impossible to check install integrity.

Comment 10 Need Real Name 2009-11-22 06:51:09 UTC
OK - I think I figured out part of the problem. It seems that 'prelink' hadn't run since the system was built so this messed up the verifies. After running prelink, most (but NOT all) of the pre-link errors and "S.?......" lines have resolved.

However, even running 'rpm -Va' right after a "full" prelink, I still get a bunch of residual prelink errors:
    prelink: /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0.0.0: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking
    S.?......    /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0.0.0

I also still don't understand what the difference is between a "?" and a "5" in the md5sum field.

Comment 11 Kamil Páral 2010-03-11 12:48:23 UTC
I see this bug in Fedora 13.

Comment 12 Nils Philippsen 2010-03-11 13:34:04 UTC
(In reply to comment #11)
> I see this bug in Fedora 13.    

Reverting the product version to 12: That the problem exists in F-13 doesn't mean it's fixed in F-12. If a bug needs to be tracked separately for other Fedora releases, it can be easily cloned. But before doing that check back with Jakub if that is necessary: I assume if he put a fix in F-12, he would put it in later versions and Rawhide as well.

Comment 13 Bug Zapper 2010-11-04 12:15:25 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 14 Nils Philippsen 2010-11-04 15:28:24 UTC
Still happening on F-14, e.g.:

prelink: /usr/lib64/libdevkit-power-gobject.so.1.0.1: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking
S.?......    /usr/lib64/libdevkit-power-gobject.so.1.0.1

Comment 15 Jesse Brandeburg 2011-02-08 23:42:14 UTC
I see this too, I've tried running prelink --all, didn't change much.

Comment 16 Paolo Campegiani 2011-07-04 08:20:39 UTC
This is still happening on F-15:

prelink: /usr/lib/libkresources.so.4.6.0: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking

prelink --all didn't make any difference. 

This bug is about 5 years old, and it's following the Fedora releases, so the automatic message "This message is a reminder that Fedora $VERSION is nearing its end of life" should not apply.

Comment 17 David Tonhofer 2011-11-14 01:40:00 UTC
Happening on Red Hat 5.7, after an upgrade from 5.6 and a manual "prelink" run.

While doing "rpm --verify" on all packages:

prelink: /usr/lib64/libpspell.so.15.1.3: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking

prelink: /usr/lib/libaudiofile.so.0.0.2: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking

prelink: /usr/lib/libesd.so.0.2.36: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking

prelink: /usr/lib/libgconf-2.so.4.1.0: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking

prelink: /usr/lib64/libgd.so.2.0.0: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking

Comment 18 Martin Wilck 2012-01-02 17:55:32 UTC
I see this here on F15, too. I think the problem is that "prelink -a" looks only at binaries (i.e. executables), not at shared objects. DSOs are only prelinked if some binary that prelink finds depends on them. Thus DSOs that aren't used by any binary may cause this problem. If such a DSO is updated, its prelink information is never updated.

I can see no way to work around this except running prelink explicitly on all .so files, like this:

prelink -aRmv  $(ldconfig -p | awk 'NR > 1 {print $NF; }')

That workaround isn't perfect because prelink may fail if any library dependency in one of the explicitly specified DSOs is broken.

In a properly prelinked system, only that aren't used by any executable will cause this error message. But on the other hand, the false error messages irritate users and make it hard to do a meaningful "rpm -V".

Rather than running "prelink -a" in a cron job, as F15 does it, it would be desirable to run prelink whenever a package containing binaries and/or executables is installed or updated by rpm.

Comment 19 Xavier Hourcade 2012-04-11 16:01:11 UTC

Comment 20 Addinall 2012-04-20 18:13:35 UTC
YEah.  I have got it in a 20 hour old install of F16 32bit.

Bloody annoying since the bug seems to be over six years old now.

No error after explicit prelink, but in previous update I ran "prelink --all".

So, Did the "prelink --all" missed this file ?

Comment 24 David Tonhofer 2012-12-30 21:23:16 UTC
(In reply to comment #23)

> So, Did the "prelink --all" missed this file ?

I seems that automatic prelink does not consider .so files, only executables.

See also comment #18

This happens on a RH 6.3

rpm --verify --all announces that:

"prelink: /usr/lib64/libusb-0.1.so.4.4.4: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking"

A daily cron-started prelink (via /etc/cron.daily/prelink) does not change that, i.e. that error is not being fixed. Well, a full prelink doesn't always run so I tried manually:

"prelink -av -f"

(BTW, Getting a set of "X has undefined non-weak symbols" warnings....)

But this does not fix it:

"prelink: /usr/lib64/libusb-0.1.so.4.4.4: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking"

No joy.

we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

I'm still seeing this on F17 (though much less frequently than before).

I see this in F18 too.

This would be the very solution, I think. I understand that prelink -y works this way because standalone prelink has no external reference it can compare with. rpm has the md5 sums in its database so the only thing what is necessary is dump the un-prelinked version to stdout and calculate the md5 of that and compare it to db. As a side effect it would give a performance boost because the re-prelink is not necessary any more.

+1 for a --stdout parameter

Comment 29 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-04 06:41:42 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '17'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Bug Reporter:  Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you 
would still like  to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it

Comment 31 Sergio Basto 2013-09-28 06:30:18 UTC
I think this warning is harmless ...
Could be genetared when prelink warns like this : 
/usr/sbin/prelink: Could not prelink /usr/bin/dcopstart because it doesn't use /usr/lib64/freetype-freeworld/libfreetype.so.6, but one of its dependencies has been prelinked against it

The goal is warning for not prelinkable so(s) , though.

Comment 33 Japheth Cleaver 2014-01-17 22:22:11 UTC
Happens on a Fresh Fedora 20 install as well, including -- ironically enough -- the prelink RPM:

[root@f20 cron.d]# rpm -qf /etc/sysconfig/prelink
prelink-0.5.0-1.fc20.x86_64
[root@f20 cron.d]# rpm -qV prelink
prelink: /usr/bin/execstack: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since prelinking

Comment 34 Fedora End Of Life 2014-02-05 22:38:02 UTC
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 35 cornel panceac 2014-02-15 19:20:59 UTC
This is still happening on Fedora 20 x96_64. The problem with it is that it makes alomst impossible to see from first run if there is any problem with the rpm packages installed on the system. Please reopen and change version to Fedora 20.

Comment 36 Alexander Murashkin 2014-10-01 03:28:28 UTC
Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH before calling prelink itself or in /etc/sysconfig/prelink may help

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64

or even

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib$([[ $(uname -m) == x86_64 ]] && echo 64 || :)

See bug 1148241 for more details.

BTW How can we "reopen this bug"? There is no such option in Bugzilla for mere mortals.

Comment 37 Martin Wilck 2014-10-02 07:07:21 UTC
Why WONTFIX?

Comment 38 Berend De Schouwer 2015-03-26 13:58:59 UTC
Fedora 21 no longer installs prelink by default.

See also:
#1190810
#1184712

and

https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1183

If prelink is not installed, rpm --verify should be ok.

Note that Fedora 21 does still include prelink, it's just not installed by default anymore.  It's not removed on upgrade.

Comment 39 Jan Kurik 2015-07-15 15:27:26 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle.
Changing version to '23'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)

(In reply to cornel panceac from comment #42)

That's because Fedora no longer enables prelink by default.  Did you enable prelink and prelink the system, then do an RPM verify to see if this problem still exists?
