Tests fails with new glibc
Hi, the test section fro one of 'my' packages fails since the new glibc is active: [ 502s] [----------] 2 tests from SharedLibrary [ 502s] [ RUN ] SharedLibrary.Enumerations [ 502s] [ OK ] SharedLibrary.Enumerations (0 ms) [ 502s] [ RUN ] SharedLibrary.Basic [ 502s] E0926 16:45:19.856614 SharedLibrary.cpp:97] dlopen(libdl.so) failed: Error libdl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [ 502s] unknown file: Failure [ 502s] Unknown C++ exception thrown in the test body. [ 502s] [ FAILED ] SharedLibrary.Basic (0 ms) was this libdl moved out? (sry, just packaging, but not programming C++) Thanks Axel

Yes. * In order to support smoother in-place-upgrades and to simplify the implementation of the runtime all functionality formerly implemented in the libraries libpthread, libdl, libutil, libanl has been integrated into libc. Runtime empty libdl.so.2 still exists and even static empty libdl.a is still provided, but not libdl.so. May be it should be offered for backward compatibility as well.

libdl.so is only needed for linking against libdl dynamically (-ldl), and was thus only provided by glibc-devel. With the latest version, "-ldl" picks the empty libdl.a instead. So using dlopen("libdl.so.2") instead would be the correct fix for this. However, it would break with other libcs, where the filename might differ. I suggest dlopen("libdl.so") and fall back to dlopen("libdl.so.2") if it failed with ENOENT. Or the other way around. Cheers, Fabian
Thanks Axel

And using dlopen("libdl.so") will break if libdl.so.X changes incompatible. It's always a really bad idea to dlopen the *.so symlink, as you never know what you will really load and if this library then provides the ABI you are expecting. Always use the soname of the library for dlopen().

Guess: The test is likely flawed and should use libdl.so.2 instead. Similar to https://github.com/coelckers/gzdoom/pull/1464/commits/0fc59ec057f8ce4ae2a928...
