Okay I'm a bit confused. Sorry this a bit long, but you patience and help would be appreciated. I'll try hard to be clear.
Following the instructions at http://www.courier-mta.org/FAQ.html#rpm I got 4 dependency alerts. ############################################################## [EMAIL PROTECTED] courier]$ rpmbuild -ta courier-0.46.tar.bz2 error: Failed build dependencies: openssl-perl is needed by courier-0.46-1.3AS xpdf is needed by courier-0.46-1.3AS mgetty-sendfax is needed by courier-0.46-1.3AS netpbm-progs is needed by courier-0.46-1.3AS ############################################################## All but the openssl-perl went well. It said it wanted openssl-perl-0.9.7a-35.1 but I couldn't find that version anywhere. But I could find openssl-perl-0.9.7a-35 (no .1 ) So I tried to install that with the rpm -U Was told that I couldn't so the upshot was that by following what the rpm database told me (not using any -f or --force stuff) I took the distro from openssl-xxxxxx-0.9.7a-35.1 to openssl-xxxxxx-0.9.7a-35 This is apparently a bad thing even though it didn't complain. ######################################################### Running rpmbuild -ta courier blah started and went along for a very long time doing lots of stuff and finally ended with a bunch of errors like this: /usr/include/openssl/kss/.h:167 : syntax error before "kssl_check" Rpm build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm_temp:67847 #################################################### What is odd is that my distro came with openssl-0.9.7a.22.1 (looking at the source cd for RH AS 3.0) and up2date / RHN must have upgraded it to 35.1 ????? When I signed up for RHN it ran a very long time. Now up2date won't work and one of the errors is /lib/libssl.so.4 #################################################### So it's clear to me that I can't follow what the rpm command tells me to remove programs even though it doesn't complain. Is there a way to save this and if so can running up2date kill it? What would you do in this situation? If I reinstall and get it working does this mean I should steer clear of RHN and updates?
