I have a RedHat system I'm upgrading from openssl 0.9.6 to 0.9.7. I built new openssl rpms but when I try to upgrade it appears some binaries have been built specifically against the older version of openssl: # rpm -Uvh --test openssl-0.9.7e-1.i386.rpm openssl-devel-0.9.7e-1.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: libcrypto.so.0.9.6 is needed by wget-1.8.2-1 libcrypto.so.0.9.6 is needed by cadaver-0.20.5-1 libcrypto.so.0.9.6 is needed by postgresql-7.3.2-1 libssl.so.0.9.6 is needed by wget-1.8.2-1 libssl.so.0.9.6 is needed by cadaver-0.20.5-1 libssl.so.0.9.6 is needed by postgresql-7.3.2-1 Note that these binaries are using shared libraries, they just are pointing at a specific version: $ ldd /usr/bin/wget libssl.so.0.9.6 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.6 (0x40009000) libcrypto.so.0.9.6 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6 (0x40038000) cadaver and postgres binaries show similar results. Here's how the libraries and symlinks look under /usr/lib: $ cd /usr/lib; ls -l libcrypto* libssl* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1798322 Oct 28 17:46 libcrypto.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Oct 28 22:19 libcrypto.so -> libcrypto.so.0* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Oct 28 12:55 libcrypto.so.0 -> libcrypto.so.0.9.6* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1157923 Oct 28 17:46 libcrypto.so.0.9.6* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 275996 Oct 28 17:46 libssl.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Oct 28 22:19 libssl.so -> libssl.so.0* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Oct 28 12:55 libssl.so.0 -> libssl.so.0.9.6* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 214722 Oct 28 17:46 libssl.so.0.9.6* I know I can just install the new version of openssl then rebuild the other (now broken) software against the new libraries. My question is, how can I force things to build against the symlinks "libssl.so" and "libcrypto.so" so that the next time I upgrade openssl, I don't have to rebuild a bunch of software? -- scot _______________________________________________ tclug-devel mailing list tclug-devel at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-devel
