Description of problem: parted-1.8.1 and before provided /usr/lib/libparted-1.8.so.0 parted-1.8.2 now provides /usr/lib/libparted-1.8.so.2 Any application, including anaconda will no longer work, because the .so it was linked with, libparted-1.8.so.0, is now gone. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): parted-1.8.2-1.fc6 How reproducible: Run any application (other than parted itself) which links into the libparted.so. Actual results: Missing shared library. Expected results: Anaconda (and any other apps) should work as before
It's actually pyparted that links with libparted, but a new one should be available in the updates collection for FC-6. I build those together whenever I do updates. Checking.
Just checked and the update I made for pyparted is in the FC-6 updates collection. You need parted-1.8.2-1.fc6 and pyparted-1.8.5-1.fc6 if you want parted-1.8.2 on your FC-6 system.
A rebuilt mkinitrd was pushed out to resolve this issue, and resolve it for the future too. mkinitrd now shows the specific library requires on parted.
