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.
