Whoops, my bad -- turns out that in the case in question, I had
installed Pine just to get Pico, which some of our staff like, and
Pico runs fine. You're absolutely right that RH's Pine binary won't
run without krb5-libs.
I need to be careful generalizing from my own experience with RPM --
with the exception of my desktop, most of what I do with Red Hat
involves single-purpose systems, such as internet gateways and drones
that I've built to do automated disk imaging for Windows desktops.
It may be that the reason I've been able to get away with heavy-handed
stuff like that with RPM is because the scope of the machines in
question was limited, and I haven't run into any problems.
Thanks for pointing out the library problems; I'll keep those in
mind.
