Description Dennis Gregorovic 2011-02-10 20:14:51 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #676692 +++

--- Additional comment from arozansk on 2011-02-10 14:55:34 EST ---

file now recognizes python scripts:
/usr/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/Perf-Trace-Util/lib/Perf/Trace/Core.py: ASCII English text   
to
/usr/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/Perf-Trace-Util/lib/Perf/Trace/Core.py: Python script text executable

redhat-rpm-config's find-requires look those .py files on the first line
for #!<interpreter>, won't find in those lines in these files, only "#"
which end up showing up on the find-requires output, therefore confusing
rpm.
Comment 2 Aristeu Rozanski 2011-05-05 13:42:38 UTC 
Dennis, this was fixed in a different way: redhat-rpm-config will look for
executables, not just python scripts. since the ones used by perf are actually
libraries and should not be used as executables, Jason submitted a patch to
remove the execute permission.
Comment 4 Jason Baron 2011-10-06 19:59:58 UTC 
As per Aris's comment #2, this was fixed for 6.1. closing.
