+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #250794 +++ The same problem would affect RHEL-5.1; it could or could not have the luck. Description of problem: During the RHEL4.5->RHEL4.6 build the verification (rpmdiff) failed as the generated strace64.debug is empty. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): strace-4.5.16-1.el4.ppc64 How reproducible: Not tried. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build strace-4.5.16-1.el4.ppc64 in Brew. Actual results: -rwxr-xr-x 1 jkratoch jkratoch 301600 Aug 3 18:43 strace-debuginfo-4.5.16-1.el4.ppc64/usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/strace.debug* -rwxr-xr-x 1 jkratoch jkratoch 2640 Aug 3 18:43 strace-debuginfo-4.5.16-1.el4.ppc64/usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/strace64.debug* (strace.debug correct, strace64.debug stripped) Expected results: -rwxr-xr-x 1 jkratoch jkratoch 2640 Aug 3 18:55 strace-debuginfo-4.5.15-1.el4.1.ppc64/usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/strace.debug* -rwxr-xr-x 1 jkratoch jkratoch 294216 Aug 3 18:55 strace-debuginfo-4.5.15-1.el4.1.ppc64/usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/strace64.debug* (strace.debug stripped, strace64.debug unstripped) Well, it is also broken but it does not hurt. The correct way is to produce both the two .debug files unstripped. ppc64 platform uses strace.ppc and strace64.ppc64. The package strace.ppc64 is never used. Additional info: The problem is line: ln %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/strace %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/strace64 /usr/lib/rpm/find-debuginfo.sh randomly chooses the first file and the second one is already stripped so even its .debug file is empty/stripped. Suggesting `ln' -> `cp -p'.
Regression on RHEL-4.5. Problem is in debuginfo; so has no significant customer impact. Workaround is trivial. Tested automatically as part of errata process.
Since Keyword Regression exists, this is a blocker, not an exception. Cleared exception flag. Set blocker flag."
