Status in “gnome-python” source package in Ubuntu: Fix Released
Bug description:
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
