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.

Fixed In Version: irssi-0.8.15-4.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously it was possible to unload static modules. As these modules are static it wasn't actually unloaded but it was only made unavailable. After the unload action was completed these modules can be reactivated only by irssi restart. It is odd behaviour, thus the unload action was blocked on the static modules. Now only the dynamic modules can be unloaded.

Description Miroslav Vadkerti 2010-10-01 09:26:09 UTC 
Description of problem:
In the latest irssi in RHEL6 i cannot reload any module after I unloaded it. When I restart irssi some modules ate auto-loaded. Unloading any module has no affect on my irssi perl scripts though (what is strange)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
irssi-0.8.15-3.el6

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start irssi
2. check loaded modules
/load
Module               Type    Submodules
core                 static  core irc fe fe-irc fe-text
dcc                  static  irc fe-irc
flood                static  irc
notifylist           static  irc fe-irc
perl                 static  core fe
3. unload module (e.g. perl)
/unload perl
4. verify perl module is gone
/load
Module               Type    Submodules
core                 static  core irc fe fe-irc fe-text
dcc                  static  irc fe-irc
flood                static  irc
notifylist           static  irc fe-irc
5. try to load module back
/load perl
-!- Irssi: Error loading module perl/core: /usr/lib64/irssi/modules/libperl_core.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  
Actual results:
Can't load module

Expected results:
Module can be reloaded

Created attachment 452961 [details]
Patch for disabling unload of static modules from UI

This is one of possible solutions. Other (probably better and of course harder)
solution is adding support for static modules reloading.

Seems that static modules can not be unloaded thus the patch proposed in comment 1 should be enough.
Comment 5 Suzanne Logcher 2011-02-15 21:43:21 UTC 
This issue was proposed for RHEL 6.1 FasTrack but did not get resolved in time.
It has been moved to RHEL 6.2 FasTrack.
