CentOS itself does indeed offer a trimmed-down bacula-client package that does not pull in anything unnecessary, but it's quite old. (2.4.4 for CentOS5) I guess the OP is trying to use the CentOS packages from [epel-bacula] name=Bacula backports from rawhide baseurl=http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/slaanesh/bacula/epel-$releasever/$basearch/ recently advertised on this list. When I tried those I was quite annoyed to find that their bacula-client package "requires" a package called bacula-libs which in turn requires both libmysqlclient_r.so.15 and libpq.so.4; so it actually pulls in both the mysql and postgresql-libs packages for no good reason. (As well as perl-DBI and lzo for good measure.) I guess that's some sort of collateral damage of their hack to distribute all possible database backends as shared libraries to be switched via the alternatives mechanism. Yes, I fleetingly thought it might be better to build the client myself, but I was too lazy and ended up accepting the superfluous library packages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
