From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020724 Description of problem: balsa fails to start with an libesmtp from Red Hat 7 series, although all RPM dependencies are met. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.8.12-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install libesmtp-0.8.4-2 2.Install balsa from the beta 3.Run balsa Actual Results: uebn> balsa balsa: relocation error: balsa: undefined symbol: smtp_starttls_set_password_cb Expected Results: I would have expected a balsa window. Additional info: The balsa binary itself references the symbol smtp_starttls_set_password_cb. This is defined in the library libesmtp.so.5.0.12 from libesmtp-0.4.12-2. But the balsa RPM only requires libesmtp.so.5. That is also provided by the older libesmtp 0.8.4-2 from Red Hat 7.3 (and 7.2). This particlular symbol is not available in that version of the library. So the loading fails. I haven't researched exactly in which version of libesmtp the symbol appeared. But I obviously a "Requires libesmtp >= 0.4.12" would be on the safe side, and cover any libesmtp versions released by Red Hat in a correct way.
Will be fixed in the next build (which will be a new version anyway.)
This does not at all seem fixed. It is quite possible to install balsa-2.0.11-2 and libesmtp-0.8.4-2 together without any complaints from RPM. And it still fails when running the same way. Doing "rpm -q --requires balsa" only mentions libesmtp.so.5 just as before, and that apparently is not fine-grained enough.
Woops, it was added as a BuildRequire.
