Description Peter Bieringer 2007-08-05 07:57:51 UTC
Description of problem:
During an inline upgrade from FC6 to F7 after upgrading ntp and missing upgrade
of readline I found that "ntpq -c pee" is not working.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ntp-4.2.4p2-1.fc7

How reproducible:
During inline upgrade.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install FC6
2. upgrade ntp
3. execute "ntpq -c pee"
  
Actual results:
Not working, claims about a missing symbol in libreadline

Expected results:
Working

Comment 1 Miroslav Lichvar 2007-08-06 13:03:40 UTC
It's a termcap symbol. LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 ntpq should work.

FC6 libreadline isn't linked with a termcap library, so every FC6 readline
binary is linked with libncurses or libtermcap. libtermcap is deprecated since
F-7 and readline is linked with libtinfo.

It's possible to add to ntp requires for first readline package that is linked
with libtinfo. There are many other packages with similar problem though.
