Description kenneth_porter 2000-12-09 07:20:18 UTC

When upgrading from 1.7.3 package, RPM complains that other packages (eg. linuxconf) depend on libgd.so.1 and this is not provided by the 
new 1.8.3-4 package. The spec file needs to declare Provides: for the symlinks created by ldconf in the %post script.

Correcting this by adding a "Provides:  libgd.so, libgd.so.1" declaration, I found that ldconfig (1.9.5-15) only installed the .so and .so.1.8 links, 
but not the .so.1 link. I had to add the last link manually. I don't understand why this link wasn't automatically created. The final Provides line 
should also include the .so.1.8 file.

Actually, if it's not getting picked up as providing this by RPM,
that would imply that the soname changed. I can only assume this was
done intentionally...

I'm a little confused here. The only packages i found were the gd-1.3 and
gd-1.8.3, so i don't know here 1.7.3 came from (the is only a gdbm-1.7.3
though).

But true, if the applications need it then there should be a Provides: for these
libraries if it doesn't break anything else (e.g. apps linked agains .so.1 und
gd-1.3 that won't work with .so.1 of gd-1.8.3 anymore).

Here a brief output of the gd library object dump. It makes clear why it only
provides .so.1.8:
