Description Christian Boltz 2012-03-28 17:17:28 UTC 
perl ExtUtils::MakeMaker adds an empry RPATH.

Two weeks ago this caused a build failure in factory (for the apparmor package in my case). In the meantime, the brp checks were relaxed - but nevertheless this should be fixed in perl's ExtUtils::MakeMaker.

Quoting Guido Berhoerster, from 
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2012-03/msg00098.

I forgot to add, a patch to do that can be found here:

It would probably make sense to include this patch in the perl package (but I'll let the decision up to you - I'm not a perl expert ;-)
Comment 1 Michael Schröder 2012-03-29 12:15:59 UTC 
Hmm, let's see what perl upstream says about this patch...
Comment 2 Christian Boltz 2014-02-01 22:00:49 UTC 
Any news on this nearly 2 years old bugreport? ;-)
Comment 3 Michael Schröder 2014-02-03 09:53:33 UTC 
Oh my, 2 years already...

Well, the patch didn't make it upstream. I'll check if the newest perl versions still insist on setting RPATH.

As it is not really obvious it was not merged I am moving this bug to tumbleweed target. Just close it as fixed or upstream as we are waiting on them anyway.
