Created attachment 565814 [details, diff] use `prelink -p` instead of `ldd` in prelink.cron The cron script introspects /sbin/init without first checking to see whether it exists, leading to cron email spam when it doesn't. Enclosed is a patch that reads prelink's own cache file instead. A minor side benefit is that there's no more need to silence errors to hack around the presence of linux-vdso in the list.
The patch looks reasonable. Rest of code uses absolute path to 'prelink' binary. Are you familiar with git to attach something I can just 'git am'? While at it i suggest splitting patch in two: 1. patch to consolidate logic into one helper. straightforward, candidate to apply instantly. 2. patch to query prelink cache. I'm a bit nervous about it and would like to explore stability of 'prelink -p' output.
