Retiring libwbxml-compat
by Petr Pisar
I'm going to remove libwbxml-compat package from Fedora 27. The package
was forked from libwbxml six years ago to provide an old API for
packages that required libwbxml < 0.11.0.
Because there is no such package in Fedora anymore, I will remove
libwbxml-compat package.

Mass rebuild failures only on ppc64le: glibc problem?
by Jason L Tibbitts III
I noticed one of my packages failed to build because the test suite
failed, but only on ppc64le.
builddir/build/BUILD/cyrus-imapd-3.0.2/cunit/.libs/lt-unit: error while
loading shared libraries:
/builddir/build/BUILD/cyrus-imapd-3.0.2/imap/.libs/libcyrus_imap.so.0:
expected localentry:0 `sasl_client_new'
I have no idea what that means, and a search for "expected localentry:0"
turned up only the patch where that message was added to glibc.
I did some other random checks and found a few other packages with
ppc64le-only build failures: freeipa, gammu, gap-pkg-float, gambas3,
getdp (and I stopped looking after that). These all failed in their
test suites with an error from the linker containing "expected
localentry:0".
Does anyone have any idea what's going wrong?
