I've run into what appears to be a catch-22 upgrading courier-unicode.I downloaded all of the new courier, courier-authlib, and courier-unicode tarballs. I successfully built the rpms for courier-unicode. But when I try to install them, I run into problems. Error: Missing Dependency: libunicode.so.1 is needed by package courier-maildrop-0.73.2-1.i386 (installed) Error: Missing Dependency: libunicode.so.1 is needed by package courier-0.73.2-1.i386 (installed) Error: Missing Dependency: libunicode.so.1 is needed by package courier-webmail-0.73.2-1.i386 (installed) Error: Missing Dependency: libunicode.so.1 is needed by package courier-imapd-0.73.2-1.i386 (installed) So I tried to build everything and install it all at once. configure: error: The Courier Unicode Library 1.2 appears not to be installed. You may need to install a separate development subpackage, in addition to the main package So I can't install courier-unicode 1.2 while the old courier is installed, but I can't build the new courier until I install courier-unicode 1.2. I assume this is caused by the library name changes mentioned in the changelog, but I have not been able to find any reference for how to properly upgrade the library. Suggestions?
Can't do this on a live system, of course. On your dev box, build courier-unicode first, and update it with rpm -UvhF --force Do the same for courier-authlib. The courier rpm should upgrade normally.If you really want to do an exercise that doesn't break any rules, you can 'yum remove' the courier and courier-authlib packages, then proceed and update courier-unicode normally, first, then build and install the other packags, in turn.
This is the only situation where using --force is appropriate.
