When prelinking dmraid the following warning is printed: Prelinking /usr/lib/libdmraid.so.1.0.0.rc14 prelink: Warning: /usr/lib/libdmraid.so.1.0.0.rc14 has undefined non-weak symbols
Not able to reproduce this here. Which symbols are those ? Does this cause any negative impact other than the warning ?
Steps to reproduce: 1. prelink -au 2. prelink -avmR 3. Notice the warning: Prelinking /usr/lib/libdmraid.so.1.0.0.rc14 prelink: Warning: /usr/lib/libdmraid.so.1.0.0.rc14 has undefined non-weak symbols This with today's rawhide. No negative impacts per se, but see Jakub's comment in Bug 330821: This is not an error, just a warning. There are legitimate cases where having undefined symbols in ldd -d -r .../lib*so* is ok and one of them is if the library is not generally dlopenable, but relies on the binary to satisfy those symbols. On the other side, if the symbols are provided by some shared library, usually it is just an on unintentional omission on the packager's part, which is bad for multiple reasons: 1) if the symbols are versioned in the library where they are defined, the library with undefined non-weak symbols might use wrong versions of those symbols 2) in prelink it causes unnecessary prelink conflicts which need to be resolved at runtime 3) if you e.g. dlopen that library and don't know you need the other library as well, the dlopen will likely fail
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported during the development of Fedora 8. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are changing the version of this bug to '8'. If this bug still exists in rawhide, please change the version back to rawhide. (If you're unable to change the bug's version, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help and we apologize for the interruption. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I tried to reproduce the flaw on Fedora 10 and couldn't. prelink run unveiled 18 DSOs (mileage can vary depending on package configuration) with "undefined non-weak symbols", not including libdmraid. Closing in lack of evidence.
Thanks, I now tested F10 and can verify that this has been fixed.
