Hi list!
me again,with RPM problems.
I'm updating some packages on my system, so I'm downloading SRPMs,
compiling them and installing the resulting binaries.
Now, I have two versions of libsafe on the system (Mandrake 7.2) - 1.3
which is used by all the old application (tried to remove it once, not a
pretty sight ;), and version 2.0 from the 8.0 release, which I thought I
could make all the new packages compile against.
but -
when I try to install a package I've just rebuilt from SRPM (rpm --rebuild
somepackage.rpm), I get a "failed dependencies: libsafe.so.1.3 is needed"
every time.
this means two bad things are happening :
1. the new libraries compile against the old libsafe.
2. they don't know I have both version installed, and think I don't have
libsafe.so.1.3 (which I do).
then I need to do --nodeps to get over it.
I installed libsafe 2.0 with -i, so it wont uninstall the old libsafe. I
also created links from libsafe.so to libsafe.so.2.0 and ran ldconfig.
now how do I make the SRPMs compile against the new libsafe ?
TIA
Oded
