glibc missing /etc/gai.conf

[Pickle]

Hello,

It appears that /etc/gai.conf is not included in glibc anymore with any 15.3 glibc package, but it is found in /usr/share/doc/packages/glibc/gai.conf. Oddly enough, the 2.31 package 404s at the "official release" link on https://software.opensuse.org/package/glibc.

When I run

rpm -ql glibc-2.31-150300.9.12.1.x86_64

it claims that /etc/gai.conf is part of the package, but if I open the package in Ark it is not.

I have another custom package that patches /etc/gai.conf to disable IPv6. Am ok to copy and paste the /usr/share/doc/packages/glibc/gai.conf in /etc/gai.conf and then patch? Will that have the same behavior as it once did?

Thank you for any help.

Congratulations, you found yet another bug in software.o.o. Care to report at https://github.com/openSUSE/software-o-o?

When I run

rpm -ql glibc-2.31-150300.9.12.1.x86_64

it claims that /etc/gai.conf is part of the package, but if I open the package in Ark it is not.

This is ghost file, which means it is not included in RPM package. In any case, default /etc/gai.conf contained only comments, which means removing it has no impact.

That's for you reply, I've submitted a bug.

I've submitted a bug.

Where is a bug here? Search Google for "rpm ghost file".

Sorry, wrong pocket. It is here: https://download.opensuse.org/update...6.5.x86_64.rpm

Problems could be with "Update repository with debuginfo for updates from SUSE Linux Enterprise 15".
