RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Steve Grubb 2010-07-15 14:45:32 UTC 
Description of problem:
During the build of openscap, it would fail creating the perl bindings with the following error message:

test -z "/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/" || /bin/mkdir -p 
"/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/openscap-0.6.0-1.el6.i386/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/"
 /bin/sh ../libtool   --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c   _openscap_pm.la 
'/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/openscap-0.6.0-1.el6.i386/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/'
libtool: install: error: cannot install `_openscap_pm.la' to a directory not 
ending in /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/

Comment 1 Petr Pisar 2010-07-15 16:39:27 UTC 
This bug can be easily circumvent by removing trailing slash from vendor paths in perl configuration. Feel free to reassign to perl if you think fixing libtool is to hard.
Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2010-07-15 16:56:40 UTC 
Given that a full libtool fix would involve regenerating the local copies of libtool in many packages, I'd opt for the perl fix for now.
Comment 3 Petr Pisar 2010-07-15 17:15:24 UTC 
Trivial fix:
