Public bug reported: /usr/lib/python-support/python-gnome2/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gnomevfs/_gnomevfs.so contains an RPATH setting, causing third party software like sugar-jhbuild to fail under certain circumstances (see [1] for an example of problems caused by this - the actual bug caused by python-gnome2 is a similar, but different one). Debians current opinion on rpath [2] seems to be that it should NOT be set, except under very rare circumstances. I haven't tested whether Debians packages contain the rpath setting as well, so it might be an upstream packaging bug. python-gnome2-desktop and python-gnome2-extras might have the same issue, haven't tested this.
Steps to reproduce: 1. install chrpath 2. chrpath -l /usr/lib/python-support/python-gnome2/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gnomevfs/_gnomevfs.so Results: /usr/lib/python-support/python-gnome2/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gnomevfs/_gnomevfs.so: RPATH=/usr/lib Expected: no rpath setting [1] http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/111 [2] http://wiki.debian.org/RpathIssue ** Affects: python-gnome (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- python-gnome: built with rpath https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330710 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
