Hi, thanks for reporting this bug. Assigned to the package maintainer. (Please set the status to 'assigned' if you are working on it) Keywords:

Triaged should this not be fixed for RC? Hi, This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment. Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2. Thanks :) Cheers, marja Keywords:

NEEDINFO Yes please Marja, if it hasn't already been done, I thought it had been assigned to the particular package maintainer for remedial action. The missing lib is used by mageia1, so should have been included to stop errors appearing from there when installing their packages as well as by quite a number of external rpm package sources and therefore is needed to install and run them without errors. regards scsijon ps I shall look at my others over the next week as I'm not very well at present, which is why I stopped testing at the rc stage

Thanks all :-D simple fix, was wrong in mageia 2 cauldron, was assigned to maintainer, if not fixed is still wrong. What's the status on this bug? Was it fixed, is there still a bug in Cauldron? CC:

RESOLVED Now that I know a bit more about library packaging than I did in 2013, I can tell that the issue described here is not a bug. For bzip 1.0.6, the library soname number is 1, and therefore by policy we provide the lib itself plus a symbolic link to libname.so.<soname number>. So we provide: $ ll /usr/lib64/libbz2.so* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 oct. 17 2014 /usr/lib64/libbz2.so -> libbz2.so.1.0.6* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 oct. 17 2014 /usr/lib64/libbz2.so.1 -> libbz2.so.1.0.6* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 68000 oct. 17 2014 /usr/lib64/libbz2.so.1.0.6* Any piece of software that requires libbz2.so.1.0 is badly packaged, because software can either require the full specific version (libbz2.so.1.0.6), or the soname (libbz2.so.1). Debian-based distros do provide the so.#.# symlink, that's why some applications built on let's say Ubuntu are searching for this symlink. Note that Fedora also closed the same bug report as invalid: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461863 Resolution:
