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? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
