Leapp reports Risk Factor: Detected customized configuration for dynamic linker
Issue
When performing in-place upgrade, leapp command reports the following Risk Factor:
Risk Factor: high
Title: Detected customized configuration for dynamic linker.
Summary: Custom configurations to the dynamic linker could potentially impact the upgrade in a negative way. The custom configuration includes modifications to /etc/ld.so.conf, custom or modified drop in config files in the /etc/ld.so.conf.d directory and additional entries in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_PRELOAD variables. These modifications configure the dynamic linker to use different libraries that might not be provided by Red Hat products or might not be present during the whole upgrade process. The following custom configurations were detected by leapp:
- The /etc/ld.so.conf file has unexpected contents:
- /opt/ssl/bin/openssl
- The following drop in config files were marked as custom:
- /etc/ld.so.conf.d/vmware-tools-libraries.conf
- /etc/ld.so.conf.d/openssl.conf
- /etc/ld.so.conf.d/usr-local-lib.conf
Remediation: [hint] Remove or revert the custom dynamic linker configurations and apply the changes using the ldconfig command. In case of possible active software collections we suggest disabling them persistently.
