Problem Description: The IcedTea packages contain implementation DSOs that encode $ORIGIN in their RPATH entries. These DSOs are relocatable as part of the directory in which they're installed. rpmlint currently flags these DSOs as errors: java-1.6.0-openjdk.i386: E: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0/jre/lib/i386/libmlib_image.so ['$ORIGIN'] The binary or shared library defines `RPATH'. Usually this is a bad thing because it hardcodes the path to search libraries and so makes it difficult to move libraries around. Most likely you will find a Makefile with a line like: gcc test.o -o test -Wl,--rpath. Also, sometimes configure scripts provide a --disable-rpath flag to avoid this. (As an aside, why would one want to move installed libraries around?) Expected results: rpmlint should recognize RPATHs that contain $ORIGIN and not flag them as errors.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
