Hi all, As has been reported, Heimdal overwrites some files that exist on the system during its installation. Many binaries are overwritten, but that is expected and normal.
However, there are issues with unexpected overwrites. Here is the latest entry I've added to the bug in Bugzilla. ======================================================================= An examination of the installed files from the Heimdal package show that it overwrites the following files: >From Glibc: /usr/include/fnmatch.h /usr/include/glob.h >From E2fsprogs: /usr/include/ss/ss.h /usr/lib/libss.a /usr/lib/libss.so Not sure what to do at this point other than to place instructions before the Heimdal installation to mv the existing files to different names. Then install the package, move the conflicting files to different names, and move the original files back to their original names. This would preserve the integrity of the Glibc and E2fsprogs packages, however, may cause issues with the Heimdal package. Suggestions are welcome. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 22:09:01 up 152 days, 21:42, 3 users, load average: 1.22, 1.02, 0.55 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
