Description of problem: iptables-devel installs a circular link to libiptc.so, libip4tc.so, libip6tc.so Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): iptables-devel-1.4.12.2-3.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install iptables-devel 2. readelf -Ws /lib64/libip4tc.so 3. Actual results: readelf: Error: Could not locate '/lib64/libip4tc.so'. System error message: Too many levels of symbolic links Expected results: Listing of exported symbols Additional info: It looks like harald has already prepared a patch for this (and other hard coded path removal) at http://harald.fedorapeople.org/downloads/usrmove/iptables-usrmove.patch It's related to the rawhide /lib64 -> /usr/lib64 move anyway. Main problem is in the .spec file -# create symlinks for devel so libs -install -d -m 755 %{buildroot}%{_libdir} -for i in %{buildroot}/%{_lib}/*.so; do - ln -s ../../%{_lib}/${i##*/} %{buildroot}%{_libdir}/${i##*/} -done - -# move pkgconfig to %{_libdir} -mv %{buildroot}/%{_lib}/pkgconfig %{buildroot}/%{_libdir}/ - (I've got a similar patch to that of harald to work)
