Problems in Linux Components

This section contains information about inconsistencies of various Linux upstream components (mainly libraries) with the Linux Standard Base (LSB) standard. Other errors and improvement proposals are also reported.

All the issues were discovered by the specialists of the Linux Verification Center during OLVER and LSB Infrastructure projects. The projects are in progress with the support of Linux Foundation. The list is being constantly extended. Also, we work with upstream developers to fix found issues in the next versions of corresponding components. All tests that find the problems reported here are available under open-source license and will be included in the official LSB certification test suite.
