Description Bastien Nocera 2006-08-10 14:36:16 UTC
devhelp-0.10-0.2.el4

1. Install RHEL4U3
2. Make sure devhelp is installed
3. Try to up2date:
 Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
 devhelp-0.10-0.2.el4                     requires mozilla = 37:1.8

But mozilla is deprecated in favour of seamonkey
devhelp needs to be updated to mention seamonkey, and rebuilt.

Bastian, sounds like something else is going on with your system, as
seamonkey-1.0.3-0.el4.1 provides "mozilla = 37:1.8"  Are you updating against
the live RHN site or from another source?

Comment 5 Bryn M. Reeves 2006-09-04 19:43:36 UTC
devhelp.spec has BuildRequires for mozilla and mozilla-devel >= 1.6

Looks like mozilla-1.7.13 was in the buildroots when the package was built:

# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.3/ devhelp
devhelp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libdevhelp-1.so.0: undefined symbol:
_ZTV24nsGetServiceByContractID

devhelp-0.10-0.2.el4 clearly contains a reference to the old mozilla suite
shared lib:

# ldd /usr/lib/libdevhelp-1.so.0 | grep gtkembed
        libgtkembedmoz.so => not found

# readelf -a /usr/bin/devhelp | grep moz
 0x00000001 (NEEDED)                     Shared library: [libgtkembedmoz.so]
 0x0000000f (RPATH)                      Library rpath: [/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.13]
