I recently ran into the issue with prelink trashing the bitpim binary
which is described in the FAQ:
http://www.bitpim.org/help/trouble-linux-issues.htm
This problem was reported to Fedora here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=415551
and was marked as NOTABUG:
"If they concatenate ELF binaries (or shared libraries) with arbitrary
data after it, without putting that at least into unallocated sections,
then they are terminally broken. From a quick check of the bitpim
binary in the i386.rpm on their website that's what they are doing.
You can work around their bugs by adding /etc/prelink.conf.d/bitpim.conf
etc. snippets which will blacklist those binaries, but really the apps
should be fixed not to do this. Please report it to them and let them
fix this."
I tend to think he has a point, what bitpim is doing is really rather
bizarre and this is quite a land mine when running it on most modern
distributions.. I would think there must be a better way to handle this?
