Comment 2 Eric Harney 2007-05-16 15:08:55 UTC
Also, running "prelink -y" on _any_ of the /usr/bin/f* from the frysk package
will either hang as this first one did, or print loads of gibberish to the
screen.  This is a nasty one.

Comment 3 Jakub Jelinek 2007-05-25 13:10:48 UTC
Can't reproduce, with the same i386 prelink package and same frysk package, same
md5 sum before prelinking.

Comment 4 Eric Harney 2007-05-25 16:43:26 UTC
I can no longer reproduce the first problem either, but am still encountering
the second one... running "prelink -y /usr/bin/fparser" sits for a while and
then prints a load of random data to the screen.  This happens both before and
after the original file has been prelinked.

Comment 5 Eric Harney 2007-06-04 00:11:22 UTC
Can't reproduce the main issue I was reporting any more, and the second
complaint was my error.  I think this one can be closed.
