From 60ae9e6d31dcfc06961fedf7622a204162d3f464 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Purdie Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2020 17:56:14 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] pseudo: Fix attr errors due to incorrect library resolution issues On a tumbleweed system, "install X Y" was showing the error: pseudo: ENOSYS for 'fsetxattr'. which was being caused by dlsym() for that function returning NULL. This appears to be due to it finding an unresolved symbol in libacl for this symbol in libattr. It hasn't been resolved so its NULL. dlerror() returns nothing since this is a valid symbol entry, its just not the one we want. We can add the glibc version string for the symbol we actually want so we get that version rather than the libattr/libacl one. The calls in libattr are just wrappers around the libc version so our attaching to the libc versions should intercept any accesses via these too.
