Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 160745
libicu-3.2-3 package requires libstdc++.so.5 not libstdc++.so.6 of FC4
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:07 EST
Description of problem: Package requires libicu libraries, but libicu-3.2-3 package in extras requires older version of libstdc++ libraries than available in Fedora Core 4. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mail-notification-1.1-3 and libicu-3.2-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.rpm -Uvh mail-notification-1.1-3.i386.rpm libicu-3.2-3.i386.rpm 2. 3. Actual results: error: Failed dependencies: libstdc++.so.5 is needed by libicu-3.2-3.i386 libstdc++.so.5(CXXABI_1.2) is needed by libicu-3.2-3.i386 libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2) is needed by libicu-3.2-3.i386 Expected results: Packages install successfully using libstdc++.so.6 available. Additional info: Note that libicu was not an available component to file a bug against, hence the choice of mail-notification.
Note also that problem is solved by simply installing libstdc++ alongside the newer one.
Your rpm command-line is missing "compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.fc4": $ rpm -q --whatprovides libstdc++.so.5 compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.fc4 According to the libicu changelog, it was built with compat-gcc-32 as a work-around for a bug and hence links against the older C++ library.
I should have checked the compat libraries - it is a cleaner fix than forcing the install of the old libstdc++. Thanks.
