I recently updated my linux distro from Mandrake 10.1 to 10.2. Rather foolishly, I decided to upgrade Amanda from 2.4.4 to 2.4.5 at the same time. [I know - only change one thing at a time :( ]
Anyway, the result was that Amanda would no longer work, with the dreaded "selfcheck request timed out". Finally, after much pulling out of hair, I tracked down the cause to amandad not starting, because of a dependancy on libintl.so.2, while the new distro only provides libintl.so.3. As a quick fix, I symlinked .2 to .3, and got Amanda working. Question: why this dependance on a rather ancient (2003) library? Will it hurt to stick with the symlink, or should I obtain a .2 library? -- Tony van der Hoff | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Buckinghamshire, England
