Hi everybody,

 I rebuilt gd-1.8.3 from RH 7.1 on a RH 6.2 system using rpm -ba gd.spec. When 
refreshing gd and gd-devel I get a dependency error from linuxconf (which 
shouldn't be on the system anyway, but that is irrelevant for my question) 
claiming it needs libgd.so.1.
 I can freshen the packages using --nodeps and recreate the symlink for 
libgd.so.1 (libgd.so is set properly, but libgd.so.1 still points to 
libgd.so.1.2, although the timestamp is updated), but I would like to resolve 
this in a cleaner way.
 The problem seems to be that at some point the symlink is either deleted, or 
points to the wrong lib. This can probably only be solved by leaving both 
libgd's on the filesystem, changing the symlink afterwards, and removing the 
old libgd afterwards. Another solution would be to force the overwriting of 
the old symlink with the new one. How would I do this?
 I also would like to avoid to have to use --nodeps on the command line. Can 
this be achieved in some way?

                                        Bye,

                                        Leonard.
