Description John Dodson 2023-06-01 06:09:27 UTC
libwbclient 2:4.18.2-0.fc38 cannot be selected above (is it samba?) & appears to have created a broken symlink

/etc/alternatives/libwbclient.so.0.15-64: broken symbolic link to /usr/lib64/samba/wbclient/libwbclient.so.0.15
file /etc/alternatives/libwbclient.so.0.15-64 is not owned by any package


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. /etc/alternatives/libwbclient.so.0.15-64: broken symbolic link to /usr/lib64/samba/wbclient/libwbclient.so.0.15
file /etc/alternatives/libwbclient.so.0.15-64 is not owned by any package
2. The link /usr/lib64/samba/wbclient/libwbclient.so.0.16/libwbclient.so.0.16 does exist!
3. Typo somewhere?
Actual Results:  
/etc/alternatives/libwbclient.so.0.15-64: broken symbolic link to /usr/lib64/samba/wbclient/libwbclient.so.0.15
file /etc/alternatives/libwbclient.so.0.15-64 is not owned by any package


Expected Results:  
A valid symlink & appropriate ownershit of a symlink by a package.

Comment 1 Petr Pisar 2023-06-01 14:09:56 UTC
/usr/lib64/samba/wbclient/libwbclient.so.0.15 file was provided by libsmbclient-2:4.17.4-4.fc38.x86_64 package. The file name was changed into /usr/lib64/samba/wbclient/libwbclient.so.0.16 in libwbclient-2:4.18.0-0.2.rc1.fc38.x86_64. I don't know what you aim to do, by I recommend referring to /usr/lib64/samba/wbclient/libwbclient.so.0 file which represents a soname of the library. That file name has not changed.

libwbclient-2:4.18.0-0.2.rc1.fc38.x86_64 binary package is built from samba-4.18.0-0.2.rc1.fc38 source package. Moving to samba component.

Comment 8 John Dodson 2023-07-14 02:35:35 UTC
Will it be possible in future to select such an errant component?

ie. will libsmbclient be able to be selected as a component?

I ask because the way to find what created a symlink/file is to find it's "owner"
& if that package can't be selected in bugzilla how does the reporter track it
to the actual package (look at dependencies presumably, but that's a bit tedious)
