Description of problem: find-requires use awk to parse the output of objdump -p to get version definations, sample output like this: Version References: required from ld-linux.so.2: 0x0963cf85 0x00 18 GLIBC_PRIVATE 0x0d696911 0x00 16 GLIBC_2.1 the $4 in awk is GLIBC_2.1, then rpm requires ld-linux.so.2(GLIBC_2.1), but some times, the objdump -p will output like this: Version References: required from ld-linux.so.2: 0x0963cf85 0x00 18 GLIBC_PRIVATE 0x0d696911 0x00 16 GLIBC_2.1 required from libc.so.6: 0x09691f73 0x00 19 GLIBC_2.1.3 0x0d696913 0x00 17 GLIBC_2.3 0x09691972 0x00 15 GLIBC_2.3.2 0x0d696911 0x00 14 GLIBC_2.1 0x0963cf85 0x00 13 GLIBC_PRIVATE 0x0d696912 0x00 12 GLIBC_2.2 0x0d696910 0x00 11 GLIBC_2.0 private flags = 2: [APCS-32] [FPA float format] [has entry point] As the last line shows, the rpm will require things like libc.so.6(2:) which is ridiculous. I made a dirty patch to work around this : --- /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/find-requires 2007-03-28 14:24:43.000000000 +0800 +++ /home/hellwolf/mydoc/prog/ybuild/ycross/tools/rpm-extension/find-requires 2007-04-13 09:20:47.000000000 +0800 @@ -90,6 +90,7 @@ # # --- Weak symbol versions (from glibc). +#@hellwolf priavate flag bug [ -n "$mark64" ] && mark64="(64bit)" for f in $liblist $exelist ; do [ -r $f ] || continue @@ -111,7 +112,7 @@ sub(/:/, "", $3); LIBNAME=$3; } - (START==2) && (LIBNAME!="") && ($4!="") { + (START==2) && (LIBNAME!="") && ($4!="") && ($1!="private"){ print LIBNAME "(" $4 ")'$lib64'"; } ' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-rpm-config-8.0.45-9.fc6 How reproducible: I found this problem when cross comipling and reset %__objdump to arm-linux-objdump. Some .so showed the private flags, which I don't very understand.
Is this still a problem affecting you in F8?
