Preparing...                ##################################################
	file /usr/lib/libwrap.a from install of tcp_wrappers-7.6-37.6.el4 conflicts with file from package tcp_wrappers-7.6-37.6.el4


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tcp_wrappers-7.6-37.6.el4/RHEL4.8 snap #1

How reproducible:
Always/ia64

Comment 3 Alexander Todorov 2009-03-23 15:45:28 UTC

Panu,
is this something to do with updated rpm version?

Comment 4 Alexander Todorov 2009-03-24 10:56:22 UTC

Scratch comment #2. tcp_wrappers did changed:
tcp_wrappers-7.6-37.4.i386.rpm -> tcp_wrappers-7.6-37.6.el4.i386.rpm

Comment 7 Jan Safranek 2009-03-30 13:25:13 UTC

This seems to be bug in RPM itself, I can't find anything wrong with the .spec file and generated package.

Comment 8 Alexander Todorov 2009-03-31 13:48:00 UTC

Panu,
is this an issue with rpm?

Comment 12 Jan Safranek 2009-04-03 08:34:15 UTC

Investigation so far: 

RPM thinks, that /usr/lib/ does *not* need to be relocated to /emul/ia32-linux/whatever. The directory contains libwrap.a and symlink libwrap.so -> ../../lib/libwrap.so.0.7.6.

The reason is, that neither libwrap.a nor libwrap.so has the right 'color', see lib/rpmfi.c:936 - color of the files is being copied to color of directories and the /var/lib/ directory ends with no color. Only 'colored' directories are relocated (i.e. directories containing colored files).

RPM read color of files from RPM header, i.e. rpmbuild created rpm file with wrong (?) colors.

Comment 15 Jan Safranek 2009-04-03 11:44:57 UTC

rpmbuild correctly guess .a file colors (RPMFC_STATIC|RPMFC_LIBRARY|RPMFC_ARCHIVE|RPMFC_INCLUDE), but on build/rpmfc.c:1578 all the colors are cleared and only few pass to outgoing RPM file header:

        /* XXX Make sure only primary (i.e. Elf32/Elf64) colors are added. */
        for (i = 0; i < c; i++)
            fcolors[i] &= 0x0f;

Maybe the RPMFC_LIBRARY color should survive... Libraries (either static or shared objects) should be always relocated to the right directory.

Comment 22 Jan Safranek 2009-04-09 11:13:00 UTC

Both static and dynamic libraries are in /lib now.
