[tlug] RedHat up2date funnies

[Jim Breen <jwb@example.com>]

A question about RH's up2date utility.

I use up2date on my RH7.x systems periodically to collect and install
updated packages. It's fine on the RH7.2 one, but on the RH7.1 system,
it's stuck with a dependency problem.

A heap of rpm-related packages won't download and install. The error
message says:

	perl-Perl-RPM 0.291-2		requires librpm.so.0
	perl-Perl-RPM 0.291-2		requires librpmio.so.0

Now looking in /usr/lib, I see I have both of those. They are in fact
both symlinks to librpm.so.0.0.0 etc.

Is it telling me I need later versions of those libraries, or what?

Jim
