Title: RE: [newbie] help with pure-ftpd installation

OK, I have gotten past the glibc conflict.  However I am still having probs with the wu-ftpd conflict.  I have rm'ed /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd and I have run rpm --rebuilddb and then rebooted just for good measure.  I still get the conflict with wu-ftpd when I try to install pure-ftpd.

 

Any other ideas ???

 

Thanks again everyone,

 

Duke

Subject: [newbie] help with pure-ftpd installation

Hello Mandrake godz,

I am running Mandrake 8.2.  A uname -a shows 2.4.18-6mdk i686

I am attempting to install pure-ftpd.  I ftp'ed the file into /var/tmp.
When I run rpm -i pure-ftpd-1.0.13-1.i686.rpm I receive this message.

libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3) is needed by pure-ftpd-1.0.13-1
wu-ftpd conflicts with pure-ftpd-1.0.13-1

I rm'ed /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd and tried to install pure-ftpd again, but it
still says there is a conflict with wu-ftpd.  How can I uninstall wu-ftpd ?
Also, for the libc.so.6 message, is it just a matter of finding this file,
downloading it, and putting it some where on my linux box ?  If so, where do
I put it ?  I have no gui so everything is being performed via command line.

Thanks for any and all help,

Duke Glover

Duke, the wu-ftp is probably gone, but if you didn't do a "rpm --rebuilddb" from a su console the wu-ftp file header may still be there. So, update the data base and then try the pure install. HTH Dennis M.
