Bug 105942 – [prelink] unable to prelink KDE libs

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Patrick Lauer 2005-09-14 03:11:05 UTC]

a while ago I noticed that prelink throws lots of "Could not prelink $foo
because its dependency $bar could not be prelinked". This happens now with
almost all libs, thus rendering prelink quite ineffective.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -e world
2. prelink -va
3. uhm ... that doesn't look right :-)

Actual Results:  
looooong list of un-prelinkable shared libs and apps

Expected Results:  
it should have worked ;-)

prelink error output

This is the list of libraries and binaries that prelink refuses to prelink

[Comment 2 SpanKY 2005-09-14 06:09:03 UTC]

that's hardly 'most' ... but anyways, i see two classes of errors ...

first, the media libraries (avi/etc...) which are broken packages to poor PIC
handling ... not a bug in prelink

second, the KDE stuff all fails due to these first failures:
prelink: Could not prelink /usr/kde/3.4/lib/libDCOP.so.4 because it doesn't use
/lib/libgcc_s.so.1, but one of its dependencies has been prelinked against it
prelink: Could not prelink /usr/kde/3.4/lib/libkdefx.so.4 because it doesn't use
/lib/libgcc_s.so.1, but one of its dependencies has been prelinked against it

without actually looking at KDE, my guess is that it is broken, not prelink

re-open if prelink-20061201 fails as well
