Hello all,
in Fedora a small issue was discovered, commented by Jeff as follows:
[13:03:17] < jbj> rsc: "flexible" prefix fubarage.
[13:04:02] < rsc> jbj: means?
[13:11:45] < jbj> rsc: popt, like rpm, needs default+system+user overrides.
changes this summer generalized system (i.e. /etc/popt) to multiple
"per-system" locations. Either fray or rse did the change iirc. easy fixing
no matter waht, and it really matters little whether /etc/popt is read
multiple times. but broken imho.
[13:14:47] < jbj> rsc: short note to popt-devel please.
Can somebody take care of this?

Description of problem:
poptReadDefaultConfig reads /etc/popt twice
Version-Release number of component (if applicable):
popt-1.12-3.fc8
How reproducible:
Deterministic
Compile this program and debug/strace it:
include <popt.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[] )
{
poptContext ctx;
ctx = poptGetContext( argv[0], argc, argv, NULL, 0);
poptReadDefaultConfig( ctx, 1 );
}
Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile this program:
cat foo.c
include <popt.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[] )
{
poptContext ctx;
ctx = poptGetContext( argv[0], argc, argv, NULL, 0);
poptReadDefaultConfig( ctx, 1 );
}
2. debug or strace it.
Actual results:
# strace -o bla ./foo
# grep /etc/popt bla
open("/etc/popt", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
open("/etc/popt", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
Expected results:
/etc/popt being opened only once.
Additional info:
The cause is this:
>From poptconfig.c
...
rc = poptReadConfigFile(con, POPT_SYSCONFDIR "/popt");
if (rc) return rc;
rc = poptReadConfigFile(con, "/etc/popt");
if (rc) return rc;
...
If popt is being configured with --sysconfdir=/etc this causes the code fragment
above to read /etc/popt twice.
