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.

The bug will block other python binding client work such as vdsm and virt-manager etc.

Comment 3 Gunannan Ren 2012-02-07 02:53:02 UTC 
The problem is that we need to link probes.o to libvirtmod.
Now, After we do it, it shows another problem in libvirtmod as the link showed.
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-February/msg00249.html
these two issue could be solved together.
Comment 4 Gunannan Ren 2012-02-07 14:24:05 UTC 
According to the mail thread in comment 3.
The problem is made by the python library link against 'libvirt_util.la'.
Comment 5 Alex Jia 2012-02-07 15:07:43 UTC 
The patch has been ACKed and pushed, and I verified the patch, it indeed works well for me, so move the bug to POST status, please change bug status if it has still any question.

    pyhton: Don't link against libvirt_util.la
    
    As we already link with libvirt.la which contains libvirt_utils.la.
    Double linking causes global symbols to be presented twice and
    thus confusion. This partially reverts c700613b8d463212d142c97108b7a2352e23e559
