Please add the output from 'readelf -a /usr/bin/mppenc' to this bug.

/usr/bin/mppenc is probably not PIC aware.

Output of readelf as requested

Is there a way to configure prelink for skipping specific files such as this
one ?  When it segfaults, it lets the system in a partially prelinked state..

Thanks,
Joel

Joël,
I don't have any idea about this one as I don't actually use either one of these software pkgs. The readelf did not really provide me with any insight as I hoped it would. None the less I wish you good luck.

Workaround would be moving musepack-tools to /opt for good, I think.

ebuild patch

Removes RESTRICT="nomirror", as sources seem to be at mirrors now (#52148)
adds nasm to dependancies
installs to /opt, which prelink doesn't process

solar: could you takea look at this again?  I'd prefer to find out what is
wrong with the prelinking rather than just work around it by installing to
/opt.

Jeremy,
Is this happening for all users that attempt to prelink or is just a few isolated cases?

------- Comment #11 From solar 2004-06-15 15:33:41 0000 ------- 
Also does this happen with a newer snapshot of prelink?
None of the libraries that get prelinked have any text relocations in them do they?

------- Comment #12 From Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2004-06-15 15:50:21 0000 ------- 
solar: It appears to be just with prelink.  I can't verify it as I don't use
prelink.  Works fine for me otherwise.

------- Comment #13 From ak 2004-06-18 14:45:18 0000 ------- 
Seems like stripping done by original Makefile has something to do with
segfaults, removing it allowed prelink to finish its job.
