Bugzilla Bug 19285

K3b should be build with the -fPIC flag, otherwise prelinking will fail
completly and not continue with other programs.

Of which version are you talking, what is the output of prelink and what is the
output of "emerge info"?

This error occurs on two systems here, both 
 
k3b version 0.81 
prelink version 20021002-r1 
 
(the new prelink umasked today cannot prelink anything here)

Sorry to bother you again, but I still think the output of prelink would be
helpful :-)

failed.

Have you tried the newest version of prelink in portage,

sys-devel/prelink-20021213 ?

see the third post ;D 
 
>> (the new prelink umasked today cannot prelink anything here) 
 
and it's masked again now ;D 

When force-prelinking k3b I can reproduce the problem. Cretin? I think this is
one for you, not for the KDE team.

drat, time to install KDE, not happy!
If I can reporoduce the bug on my system I will take the bug off the kde team.

prelink-20030217 (which was umasked today) shows the following error:

prelink: Could not write /lib/ld-2.3.1.so: invalid section entry size

prelink -uaf /lib/ld-2.3.1.so

and then try again.

I tried the new prelink today !!!!fuck!!! 
After a while solving the problem with ld-2.3.1 (reverting back to old prelink, then  
doing prelink -aufv)  
manualy removed libelf (the ! operator line doesnt seem to work in portage ?!?), 
remerged prelink, 
The following happend: 
prelink -avmRf 
 
Prelinking /sbin/vgextend 
Prelinking /usr/bin/k3b 
prelink: exec.c:516: prelink_exec: Assertion `new_reloc == -1 || rinfo.first == 
new[new_reloc]' failed. 
Aborted 
 
Going back to the old version.- 

I have emerged (after a few hours ) K3b on 15-4-2003

It all prelinked fine, so I cannot help here, 
my guess it is some weird system borkage due to something
unexpected, cannot help.

which version of prelink did u use? 

I just tried 20030217 - prelink -u solved the "section size" problem, but I
still have the failed assertion when trying to prelink -f /usr/bin/k3b

Update dev-libs/elfutils-0.76 please, I bet this is
the source of the error.
Then remerge prelink (as it is statically compiled)
What version of elfutils do you have?

hth

same happens with ksimus and kvim here.

Looks like a different problem.
Prelinking /usr/bin/ksimus
prelink: exec.c:516: prelink_exec: Assertion `new_reloc == -1 || rinfo.first == new[new_reloc]' failed.

(gdb) print new_reloc
$1 = -1
(gdb) print rinfo.first
$2 = 5
(gdb) print new[new_reloc]
$3 = 139693152

last one was nonsense, of course...

#3  0x08096902 in __assert_fail ()
(gdb) up
#4  0x08059f3e in prelink_exec (info=0xbfffe9b0) at exec.c:516
516       assert (new_reloc == -1 || rinfo.first == new[new_reloc]);
(gdb) print new_reloc
$2 = 0
(gdb) print rinfo.first
$3 = 5
(gdb) print new[new_reloc]
$4 = 4
(gdb) print dso->soname
$5 = 0x8337630 "/usr/bin/ksimus"

Is this still a valid bug? 

there is neither a new k3b version nor a new prelink version, thus this bug is
still valid. 

Please notice that this is not only a k3b problem.

New version of prelink is out, does it fix the error?

At least on my system it seems to work now.

yeah, fixes all three errors i had, please mark stable and close :)

Ok, marked stable. Closing bug. 

Solution: Use prelink-20030811 ( or later)

I hope the dependancies hold up ...
