Upgrade from FC3 breaks ssl and gpg
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:31 EST
Description of problem: After spending many hours of detecting the cause of gpg and ssl connections not working after the upgrade, I found these problems: 1) perl module Net::SSLeay (CPAN 1.30) cannot install with 'undefined symbol inflateEnd'. Reason: the zlib library '-lz' is not included in the library paths to search (this has been reported to the developers). Might be caused by using openssl 0.9.8a 2) non-root users cannot use ssl and gpg due to no read permission to /dev/urandom for anybody by root. Whether this is a problem with kernel 2.6.16-1.2096_FC5 or the one I had to fallback to (2.6.9) due to the missing serial ports, I do not know. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Constantly Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
re 2) After compiling a kernel with my missing serial ports added (unrelated to this), I noticed that after booting, the /dev/random and /dev/urandom did have read permission for everybody, so it might be a problem related to the older kernel I used unless the permissions somehow survive a boot.
you have three separate problems here. please file a separate bug for each next time. The kernel problem (the serial port issue) can be solved without revuilding the kernel. Boot with 8250.nr_uarts=4 (or however many you have). The permissions issue was indeed due to the older kernel. (Remember FC3 had no udev, so lots of the kernel side bits were also missing, so when udev started up, it had no clue what was going on). The perl/ssl issue I've no idea, reassigning.
The libcrypto and libssl link to libz correctly so I don't see where the problem you reported above comes from.
