RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Steve Timm 2013-10-21 16:10:58 UTC

Description of problem:
libcurl.so.3 / curl 7.15 is not available in RHEL6

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
curl-7.15.5-17.el5_9


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.ls /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.3
2.
3.

Actual results:
No such file or directory

Expected results:
would like it to be there.

Additional info:
We would like the compatible libcurl.so.3 that comes with curl 7.15
available as a compat library for RHEL6.  There was a major change in 
the curl ABI from curl 7.15 as shipped with RHEL5 and curl 7.16 
and greater including the curl 7.19 /libcurl 7.19 that ships with
RHEL6.  We have a user application which depends both on the libcurl.so.3
and the old method of accessing curl that it used.
We would like to see a compat-libcurl released with the old ABI.
See curl developer site http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/abi.html

for details.

Comment 2 Kamil Dudka 2013-10-21 17:16:04 UTC

In general, we do not guarantee ABI compatibility between major RHEL releases, so this is not a bug.  Please contact Product Support regarding your issue.  Bugzilla is only a bug tracking tool and RHEL updates are driven by customer requests.
