Description of problem: libextractor fails to loads its plugins, at least on x86_64, making the package completely useless (hence high severity / priority). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -q libextractor libextractor-plugins-base libextractor-0.5.20b-1.fc8.x86_64 libextractor-plugins-base-0.5.20b-1.fc8.x86_64 (also affects F8's 0.5.18a-1.fc8) Steps to Reproduce: $ libextractor-extract libextractor-0.5.20b-1.fc8.x86_64.rpm $ (no output) $ strace -e trace=open libextractor-extract libextractor-0.5.20b-1.fc8.x86_64.rpm 2>&1 | grep --color libextractor_rpm.so open("/lib64/tls/libextractor_rpm.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib64/libextractor_rpm.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib64/tls/libextractor_rpm.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib64/libextractor_rpm.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) (it does not try to load libextractor_rpm.so from /usr/lib64/libextractor) $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/libextractor libextractor-extract libextractor-0.5.20b-1.fc8.x86_64.rpm operating system - linux resource-identifier - http://gnunet.org/libextractor/ group - System Environment/Libraries packager - Fedora Project license - GPL copyright - GPL vendor - Fedora Project distribution - Unknown size - 219484 build-host - x86-5 creation date - ���� description - libextractor is a simple library for keyword extraction. libextractor does not support all formats but supports a simple plugging mechanism such that you can quickly add extractors for additional formats, even without recompiling libextractor. libextractor typically ships with a dozen helper-libraries that can be used to obtain keywords from common file-types. libextractor is a part of the GNU project (http://www.gnu.org/). summary - Simple library for keyword extraction release - 1.fc8 version - 0.5.20b title - libextractor unknown - Binary RPM 3.0 mimetype - application/x-redhat-package-manager (with LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to /usr/lib64/libextractor or proper .conf file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ (+ldconfig), libextractor finally starts to work) Additional info: I have not checked i386 or other arches and different Fedora versions, but I suspect they may be affected by the same problem.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. 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 '8'. 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 8'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 8 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

Dear BugZappers, you're not helping here a bit. How can one exclude this bug from your annoying comments so that it remains open until it's really fixed? You only seem to provide a way to exclude for RFEs, packages reviews and trackers, and this is neither of them. Bug still exists in libextractor-0.5.22-1.fc11.x86_64
libextractor-0.5.23-1200.fc12 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 12. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libextractor-0.5.23-1200.fc12
libextractor-0.5.22-1100.fc11 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libextractor-0.5.22-1100.fc11
libextractor-0.5.22-1100.fc11 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update libextractor'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F11/FEDORA-2009-12138
Verified with libextractor-0.5.22-1100.fc11, modulo the fact that rpm test from comment #0 can no longer be used, as rpm plugin is disable / not built any more. Thank you.
*** Bug 582530 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This is marked "CLOSED ERRATA", but the updated packages never left updates-testing, at least for Fedora 12. Could libextractor-0.5.23-1200.fc12 be pushed to updates, please?
