Dependency problem: OpenSSL and Mutt 1.3.18i-2

2001-06-08 Thread John P. Verel

I'm attempting to upgrade to Mutt mutt-1.3.18i-2, using an rpm.  I get
these failed dependencies messages:

libcrypto.so.0.9.6.1   is needed by mutt-1.3.18i-2
libssl.so.0.9.6.1   is needed by mutt-1.3.18i-2
libtinfo.so.5   is needed by mutt-1.3.18i-2

Search at rpmfind says that openssl-0.9.6a-4 provides these objects.
When I attempt an rpm -Uvh on mutt and openssl, I get a slew of
dependency errors relating to libssl.so.1 and libcrypto.so.1 being
needed by a few dozen packages.  I am, of course, reluctant to do a
--nodeps force on such an important package as openssl.

I have openssl-0.9.6-3 installed, running a stock Red Hat 7.1
installation.

Can anyone suggest a solution?  Thanks.

John

Just curious where you got this? It looks like the rawhide version.

I just went through this about an hour ago, for different reasons. The
rawhide rpm has libssl.so.2 and libcrypto.so.2, no *so.1. Not sure if
this is by design, or an oversight. I recreated the symlink that I
think should be there, and everything seems to work. I don't like
doing that kind of thing, but, hey, I needed it since something is
broken in the 7.1 version. The only thing I ran afoul of was so far
ssh not wanting to run. Rebuilding that from src.rpm worked.
