• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joël 2004-05-03 03:15:54 UTC]

while trying to prelink /usr/bin/mppenc, it segfaults with the following message:

=========================
Prelinking /usr/bin/mppenc
prelink: /usr/bin/mppenc: Symbol section index outside of section numbers
./do-prelink: line 2: 16273 Segmentation fault      prelink -vafmR

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

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

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.

[Comment 7 4nykey 2004-06-01 12:03:43 UTC]

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

[Comment 9 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2004-06-15 14:08:03 UTC]

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.

[Comment 10 solar (RETIRED) 2004-06-15 15:15:52 UTC]

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

[Comment 11 solar (RETIRED) 2004-06-15 15:33:41 UTC]

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 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2004-06-15 15:50:21 UTC]

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 4nykey 2004-06-18 14:45:18 UTC]

Seems like stripping done by original Makefile has something to do with segfaults, removing it allowed prelink to finish its job.
