Public bug reported: Binary package hint: python-gconf
/usr/lib/python-support/python-gconf/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gconf.so contains an RPATH setting, causing third party software like sugar-jhbuild to fail under certain circumstances [1]. Debians current opinion on rpath [2] seems to be that it should NOT be set, except under very rare circumstances. Please note that the library search order mentioned in [2] seems to be incorrect: LD_LIBRARY_PATH does NOT override rpath, so (apart from modifying the installed library with chrpath) there's no workaround. I haven't tested whether Debians packages contain the rpath setting as well, so it might be an upstream packaging bug. Steps to reproduce: 1. install chrpath 2. chrpath -l /usr/lib/python-support/python-gconf/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gconf.so Results: /usr/lib/python-support/python-gconf/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gconf.so: RPATH=/usr/lib Expected: no rpath setting [1] http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/111 [2] http://wiki.debian.org/RpathIssue ** Affects: gnome-python (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- python-gconf: built with rpath https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/327671 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
