[syslog-ng] syslog-ng 3.35.1-2.el7

Tue Feb 8 18:13:23 UTC 2022

Hi,

I'm on holidays now after a very busy conference weekend, so I did not check the repositories or the spec files. So, it's just a guess based on earlier experience: are you are trying to run syslog-ng on an earlier CentOS / RHEL release? As Copr always uses the latest CentOS / RHEL release to compile packages. What it means that if a package was upgraded along the way in RHEL, then syslog-ng is compiled with a more recent version of Glib than available on an earlier RHEL release.

I'll take a closer look at it later this week.

Although that might be the actual requirement, the provided RPM does not reflect this

% rpm -ql --requires -p syslog-ng-3.35.1-2.el7.x86_64.rpm | grep -i glib

ld-linux-x86-64.so.2(GLIBC_2.3)(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.11)(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.14)(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4)(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4)(64bit)

libglib-2.0.so.0()(64bit)
libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit)
libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit)
librt.so.1(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit)

And i do not htink that version 2.32 is sufficient.
At the time of the install I am running an ansible playbook that starts with a minimal image of RHEL7

% cat /etc/redhat-release
Red hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.3 (Maipo)

which contains the glib2 2.46

Installing the latest syslog-ng does not upgrade glib2
One of the major purposes of RPM is to ensure that a package can not be installed if the required components are not installed. The glib2 2.56 available at this point, so should have been upgraded to ensure that syslog-ng could run.

The error is

/usr/sbin/syslog-ng: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libsyslog-ng-3.35.so.0: undefined symbol: g_ptr_array_find_with_equal_func

The lowest version of the glib2 package available on RHEL7 that allows syslog-ng 3.35 to start is glib2-2.54.2-2.el7.x86_64

Hi Evan,

May I ask what version of glib2 do you have on that RHEL 7 system?
I'm only asking as we increased the minimum version of glib to 2.32 recently.

Don't get me wrong, the 'requires' field in the spec file is a good point, I just wanted to let you know about the minimum version also.

Regards,
Gabor
