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. The following Debian Bug report appears to be about the same issue and has for further details: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=583765
