Hi, I've seen bugs like this earlier; my suspicion is that prelink makes the libdbus libraries not work. Please try this as root tar cfv /root/old-dbus-so.tar /usr/lib/libdbus-*.so* sudo /usr/sbin/prelink /usr/lib/libdbus-*.so* and see if that works?
Whoops, drop the sudo before prelink; sorry my bad. Should be this tar cfv /root/old-dbus-so.tar /usr/lib/libdbus-*.so* sudo /usr/sbin/prelink /usr/lib/libdbus-*.so*
this is the commands to issue as root (I need some coffee :-)): tar cfv /root/old-dbus-so.tar /usr/lib/libdbus-*.so* /usr/sbin/prelink /usr/lib/libdbus-*.so* Thanks, David
dude! good job.. fixed the problem.. now how come I had to re-prelink the library files? how did I screw them up? any ideas?
This looks to me like a prelink bug - reassigning.
