Description JD Gorman 2004-03-18 03:33:11 UTC

Description of problem:
rpm-4.3-0.21 references glib 2.3.4 but FC2 test1 is using glib-2.3.3
This causes problems w/ up2date (librpmio complains that GLIB_2.3.4 is
undefined and terminates up2date).  Was the development system using
glib-2.3.4? If so, it's outta sync w/ the rest of the rpms in
./development

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-*-4.3-0.21 from the ./development dir

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgraded FC1 to FC2 test
2. Installed rpm-4.3-0.21 from ./development dir
3. 
  
Actual results:
up2date, rpm busted

Expected results:
that rpm and up2date should function normally

Additional info:
workaround was to build rpm-*-4.3-0.21.i386.rpm from SRPM files and
install using: rpm -iUvh --force  
other workaround would have been to upgrade glibc to 2.3.4

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2004-03-18 06:02:22 UTC

Installing new glibc from devel tree should get around this.

Comment 2 JD Gorman 2004-03-18 18:51:41 UTC

Thanks. I think that's what I was suggesting too. The problem is that
the glibc RPM packages in the devel tree seem to be sitting at
2.3.3-17, not 2.3.4, unless I'm interpreting the numbering wrong. 
Thus it's quite easy for folks to "break" librpmio w/o realizing.

 glibc-2.3.3-17.i386.rpm          17-Mar-2004 14:40   3.3M

Comment 3 Jeff Johnson 2004-03-19 02:40:57 UTC

This is a weak symbol in glibc-2.3.3 against which rpm
was compiled.
