Yup. This (and 2 other changes) was announced on rpm-list, grab the text from the archives at http://listman.redhat.com. Basically, rpm shared libraries have never been backward compatible. In rpm-4.0.3, the rpmdb API moved to librpmdb.so.0, and, since librpm.so.0 is not linked against other libraries, breaks compatibility anyways. There are deeper problems than library linkage as well ... |
