missing krb5 libs after upgrade
Last modified: 2009-09-10 15:48:00 EDT
I upgraded from rh6.0 to rh7.0. Now when I try to upgrade the latest fetchmail package I get an error that the needed krb5 libs are not present: rpm -U fetchmail-5_5_0-2_6_i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: libk5crypto.so.2 is needed by fetchmail-5_5_0-2_6_i386.rpm libkrb5.so.2 is needed by fetchmail-5_5_0-2_6_i386.rpm the so.3 versions are present, but the so.2 versions do not exist on the system. I forced an update of the krb5.rpm and installed the workstation and server krb5 packages, to no avail. I believe that part of the problem may have arisen from the fact that I previously had an earlier version of postgresql installed on my rh6.0 box. After upgrading to rh7.0 and the new version of postgresql, my ld.conf file had an incorrect entry for kerberos libs under my postgresql directories (which no longer existed) and I had to manually update ld.conf to point to the new kerberos libs. I think this may have been a factor because it may have been the case on my rh6.0 box that the kerberos libs were, in fact, located with postgresql (don't know why). Then for whatever reason, the so.2 versions of those libs may not have been laid down in the new kerberos location, after which the new postgresql install may have removed the earlier kerberos directory, expecting to find its libs in the new location. Of course, that is just a guess on my part.
I suspect that you've attempted to install the errata for RHL 6.2 onto RHL 7. The errata package for RHL 7 is at ftp://ftp.redhat.com//pub/redhat/updates/7.0/i386/fetchmail-5.5.0-3.i386.rpm Please reopen this bug report if this is not the correct solution. Thanks!
