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:
libvpx causes prelink to fail and abort any further prelinking
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvpx-0.9.0-8.el6_0.i686
prelink-0.4.6-3.el6.i686
How reproducible:
install libvpx and prelink and the run prelink for example with:
/etc/cron.daily/prelink
The prelink log file /var/log/prelink/prelink.log will contain the error details
Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install libvpx prelink
2. /etc/cron.daily/prelink
3. cat /var/log/prelink/prelink.log
Actual results:
cat /var/log/prelink/prelink.log
/usr/sbin/prelink -av -mR -q
Laying out 2 libraries in virtual address space 00101000-50000000
Random base 0x0f903000
/usr/sbin/prelink: Could not find virtual address slot for /usr/lib/libvpx.so.0
Prelink failed with return value 1
Expected results:
the log file should contain a long list of libraries and binaries that have been successfully prelinked, like this:
Prelinking /usr/bin/ppmcie
Prelinking /usr/bin/jpegtran
Prelinking /usr/sbin/setup
Prelinking /usr/sbin/selinuxconlist
Prelinking /usr/bin/rcs
Prelinking /usr/bin/xkbvleds
Additional info:
I consider this a high severity bug as it practically renders prelink useless when libvpx is installed and in addition causes rpm -Va to spit out loads of prelink related error messages.
