Actual results: missing /usr/lib/libidb.so.3 Expected results: libidb.so.3 should not go missing Additional info: Downgrading compat-db-4.0.14-5.1 rpm to compat-db-4.0.14-5 does not work-- rather that makes the system unstable.

A typo has occurred: it's not libidb but missing /usr/lib/libdb.so.3 Just do rpm -V compat-db The rpm version is compat-db-4.0.14-5.1 as supplied with RHEL3 AS/ES/WS Update 4 (kernel 2.4.21-27.EL) Reported by Joydev Lahiri<joy.in>
Am having problems installing third party applications due to the missing shared library libdb.so.3. A quick resolution would be appreciated. You may send me a patch. Joydev Lahiri <joy.in>
I guess /usr/lib/libdb.so.3 is a symlink which for some reason compat- db rpm is unable to create. Would appreciate if you can tell me to what it is symlinked to. Then the following might work: #root> ln -s /usr/lib/libdb.so.3 /you/tell/me #root> /sbin/ldconfig Joydev Lahiri<joy.in>
it should be symlinked to /lib/libdb2.so.3
