That would require multiple initscripts RPMs to be concurrently installed - almost certain to cause problems. We really have three alternatives: - put up with --nodeps for now - build samba RPMs without this bogus dependency. Since RedHat don't have a 2.2.2 RPM set, we need to build our own anyway - build our own initscripts RPM which satisfies the dependency (we do need to have our own initscripts RPM, using the RedHat one unchanged is not an option). I have merged our patches with the appropriate initscripts version, but haven't yet verified that I haven't broken anything in doing so. -- Charlie Brady [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lead Product Developer Network Server Solutions Group http://www.e-smith.com/ Mitel Networks Corporation http://www.mitel.com/ Phone: +1 (613) 368 4376 or 564 8000 Fax: +1 (613) 564 7739 -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
