Description Orion Poplawski 2021-04-30 01:41:33 UTC

Description of problem:

octave-general has started to fail to build with rpm-4.16.90-0.git15395.5... see https://koschei.fedoraproject.org/package/octave-general?collection=f35

+ /usr/lib/rpm/brp-strip-shared /usr/bin/strip
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.5iOSAe: line 34: /usr/lib/rpm/brp-strip-shared: No such file or directory

This is likely because the octave shared libraries are in a non-standard location with a non-standard suffix, e.g.:

file /usr/lib64/octave/packages/general-2.1.1/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-api-v53/unpackfields.oct
/usr/lib64/octave/packages/general-2.1.1/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-api-v53/unpackfields.oct: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=8692715b536095bdbdd24728874d764433618665, stripped

So, what to do?

Oh, I thought I commented on this long ago but clearly not. Sorry!

brp-strip-shared was removed as "forever unused" in 4.17 but whenever you ship something long enough, somebody will find and use... Replace brp-strip-shared uses with brp-strip, it should handle shared libraries equally well and is present in all rpm versions. If that causes some problems we'll need to look at the specifics then.

Ah, thanks.
