Hi,

You are right. Previous version of DSU (1.3.1 or below) does not use libz.
Now, in the latest version of DSU (1.4.0), we do use libz for extraction of .gz 
file formats. Hence we carry libz.so.1 along with DSU RPM in lib64/dsu folder.


Regards,
Sashi

A colleague noticed after we had issues with a standard deployment we provide 
to customers that libz.so was updated. Moreover ldconfig was updated so the 
system uses the new libz. Again this broke a normal milk run install we do.

Is there any reasoning for this?

Details:
The dell-system-update package 1.4.0-17.02.00 install a new version of libz.so 
and update the ld config for the entire system to use it? This breaks some 
programs which also use this shared library. It looks like previous versions of 
dell-system-update did this with the xerces library, which did not affect my 
systems, but still seems like bad practice to me.

# ldd $(which xsltproc)|grep libz
        libz.so.1 => /lib64/libz.so.1 (0x0000003036600000)

# yum install dell-system-update
