Description of problem: # libtoolize --automake --copy libtoolize: can not copy '/usr/share/libtool/config/ltmain.sh' to 'build/' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.2-3.fc17 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install fedora with minimal profile 2. install libtool 3. run libtoolize Actual results: fail to run Expected results: no error, because installing libtool should pull tar as a dependency Additional info: problem solved by running # yum install tar there is a reference upstream in : http://osdir.com/ml/libtool-gnu/2009-07/msg00030.html and it is likely to affect older versions as well as shown by the date of that post.
Thanks for the report. I added tar as a dependency for libtool in rawhide. | --- a/libtool.spec | +++ b/libtool.spec | @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ | Summary: The GNU Portable Library Tool | Name: libtool | Version: 2.4.2 | -Release: 7%{?dist} | +Release: 8%{?dist} | License: GPLv2+ and LGPLv2+ and GFDL | URL: http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/ | Group: Development/Tools | @@ -15,6 +15,8 @@ Requires(post): /sbin/install-info | Requires(preun): /sbin/install-info | | BuildRequires: autoconf >= 2.59, automake >= 1.9.2, texinfo | +# we need this because tar is missing in Fedora installed with min. profile | +BuildRequires: tar | Requires: autoconf >= 2.58, automake >= 1.4, sed | # make sure we can configure all supported langs | BuildRequires: gcc, gcc-c++, libstdc++-devel, gcc-gfortran, gcc-java | @@ -144,6 +146,9 @@ fi | | | %changelog | +* Thu Oct 04 2012 Pavel Raiskup <praiskup> - 2.4.2-8 | +- make the libtool dependant on tar (#794675) | + | * Fri Sep 21 2012 Dan Horák <dan[at]danny.cz> - 2.4.2-7 | - rebuild for gcc 4.7.2 Pavel
