Bug 305417 – net-im/amsn-0.98.1-r1 installs ELF files to /usr/share

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Morten Larsen 2010-02-16 18:10:42 UTC]

Running 'revdep-rebuild --library libjpeg.so.7' does not rebuild TkCximage.so

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade from media-libs/jpeg-7 to media-libs/jpeg-8
2. Run 'revdep-rebuild --library libjpeg.so.7'
3. Run 'rm /usr/lib64/libjpeg.so.7'
4. Start aMSN as watch how it errors out.
Actual Results:  
revdep-rebuild failed to detect the broken TkCximage.so and aMSN failed to start.

Expected Results:  
revdep-rebuild should have detected that TkCximage.so was broken and rebuild aMSN.

What were the errors exactly ?

> What were the errors exactly ?

When starting aMSN there was a error popup with something like:
Could not load file "/usr/share/amsn/utils/TkCximage/TkCximage.so": libjpeg.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

And then a message saying that aMSN cannot run without TkCximage.so.

[Comment 3 Paul Varner (RETIRED) 2010-02-16 19:58:26 UTC]

I'm a bit surprised that the ebuild is installing libraries under /usr/share.  Anyhow, the resolution is to either install the libraries in the appropriate lib directory or if that is not possible, then a revdep-rebuild control file containing 'SEARCH_DIRS="/usr/share/amsn"' needs to be installed in the /etc/revdep-rebuild directory.

A workaround until this is fixed correctly is to add SEARCH_DIRS="/usr/share/amsn" to your /etc/make.conf file

[Comment 4 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2010-02-22 13:19:04 UTC]

Fixed Summary to reflect the real problem, /usr/share is no place for ELF's.

[Comment 5 Pacho Ramos 2010-07-02 21:17:09 UTC]

This problem is also seen with libpng update

[Comment 6 Pacho Ramos 2011-01-30 13:39:32 UTC]

Looking at Fedora spec seems that they move .tcl files to /usr/lib/tcl8.5, but some other changes are needed for that (look at sed commands in spec):
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=amsn.git;a=blob;f=amsn.spec;h=6408fc0028e7fa6b881cce359c0ef234d4577082;hb=HEAD

It looks to be the only distribution moving that files :-/

I will commit a revision with a file for /etc/revdep-rebuild (keeping this opened to let maintainers decide if they are ok with this solution or prefer fedora's one) next week if nobody disagrees as I am a bit tired of seen users complaining due amsn being broken from time to time.

I told upstream about it, they will fix it in the next release

[Comment 8 Pacho Ramos 2011-01-31 11:43:53 UTC]

Nice, thanks :-)
