[Impact]
* Since ibutils 1.5.7-3 links against a libosmvendor.so.3 not present in Ubuntu 14.10 the ibutils tools are currently unusable.

* Rebuilding ibutils 1.5.7-3, without changing the source package, in an Ubuntu 14.10 environment instead links against libosmvendor.so.4, resulting in the tools becoming usuable.

* This problem is solved in Ubuntu 15.04 with the ibutils 1.5.7-3build1 no-change rebuild.

[Test Case]
* To trigger the bug, run the ibis command, and get the "ibis: error while loading shared libraries: libosmvendor.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" error message.

* Once fixed, the ibus command should instead give you a new prompt.

[Regression Potential]
* Can't see any possible regressions, given that the ibutils tools are currently unusable under Ubuntu 14.10.

[Andreas Olsson (andol)]

Yepp, I can confirm that ibutils 1.5.7-3 breaks in Ubuntu 14.10, since it links against no-longer-provided libosmvendor.so.3.

The Ubuntu 14.10 version of libopensm5 (3.3.18-1) instead provide libosmvendor.so.4. Making a non-change rebuild against an Ubuntu 14.10 environment makes ibutils link up properly.

The reason for this not being an issue in Ubuntu 15.04 is because its 1.5.7-3build1 verison is the needed rebuild.

@Andreas: In case you want/can test the Ubuntu 14.10 rebuild against actual InfiniBand hardware you can add the https://launchpad.net/~andol/+archive/ubuntu/ibutils PPA. Either that, or directly grab these two debs: https://launchpad.net/~andol/+archive/ubuntu/ibutils/+build/7020816/+files/ibutils_1.5.7-3build0.1%7Eppa_amd64.deb, https://launchpad.net/~andol/+archive/ubuntu/ibutils/+build/7020816/+files/libibdm1_1.5.7-3build0.1%7Eppa_amd64.deb

Thank you for the build.

I have verified that the build works on actual InfiniBand hardware (Mellanox Technologies MT27500 Family).

[Andreas Olsson (andol)]

Marking as Fixed, since there has already been a rebuild for the Ubuntu 15.04 ibutils package.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

Hello Nils, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ibutils into utopic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibutils/1.5.7-3build0.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Hello Timo, and everone else interested,

I can confirm that utopic-proposed/universe ibutils amd64 1.5.7-3build0.1 resolves the issue for me.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package ibutils - 1.5.7-3build0.1

---------------
ibutils (1.5.7-3build0.1) utopic; urgency=medium

  * No-change rebuild against newer libopensm5 (LP: #1426711).

The verification of the Stable Release Update for ibutils has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.
