Description Václav Kadlčík 2022-03-07 09:58:09 UTC
Description of problem:

  # annocheck --skip-all /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so*

  annocheck: Version 10.56.
  annocheck: Warning: '/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6' is a symbolic link.  Run annocheck with -f to follow or -d to ignore.

I believe "-d" is wrong, "-I" is the right option.

The man page is outdated, doesn't mention "-f" not "-I":

  # man annocheck |& grep links


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

annobin-annocheck-10.56-1.fc37.x86_64

Comment 1 Václav Kadlčík 2022-03-07 10:03:03 UTC
sorry for the typo above, should have read:

... doesn't mention "-f" *nor* "-I"

Comment 2 Nick Clifton 2022-03-07 12:22:25 UTC
*sigh*  Yes you are right.  I changed my mind about the name of the option half way through writing the patch.  Originally it was going to be --do-not-follow-links (abbreviated to -d) but there are already a lot of other -d options, so I decided that --ignore-links would be better.

As for the documentation, that is due to laziness on my part.  I documented the long options, but forgot to include the short versions...

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 37 development cycle.
Changing version to 37.
