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 of problem:
Got the above error message when I run Google Chrome or any other application that requires version information in libz.so.1.

I am submitting in regard to libz.so.1 without version information available, but not the difficulties of using chrome. Users should have same error if they run an application that requires version information on libz.so.1

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
zlib-1.2.3-26.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL 6.
2. Install all packages needed.
3. Install Google Chrome from a 3rd party repo.
3. Start Google Chrome.
  
It starts with the error message:

/lib64/libz.so.1: no version information available

Additional info:
N/A

google-chrome-beta-5.0.307.7-38400.x86_64 at least doesn't crash any more, but the error message ist still there.

This is probably the same problem as in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=431124, the fix sounds to be quite small.

If you could kindly patch it on Fedora that would be fantastic. if you decide to let be then that's alright. Thanks very much for your help.

Thanks, fixed in zlib-1.2.4-1.fc14.

Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
