Blake_AE 0 Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Computer - Dual 700, 5 SCSI HD Raid Array, Red Hat 9 Problem - Openldap-2.2.17 is currently installed. When this was installed, it broke 5 dependancies: The following packages have unmet dependencies: autofs: Depends: liblber.so.2 Depends: libldap.so.2 gnupg: Depends: libldap.so.2 libuser: Depends: liblber.so.2 Depends: libldap.so.2 nss_ldap: Depends: liblber.so.2 Depends: libldap.so.2 sendmail: Depends: liblber.so.2 Depends: libldap.so.2 I get the above message when I try to install ANYTHING with rpm or apt. I've tried to manually add libldap.so.2 (linked to libldap.so that I built manually from an old openldap which I did not install). Anyway, that didn't take. So, I can't install anything with a package manager. I can't remove the new openldap because there are 33 packages with dependancies on the new libldap libraries including apache. It's hosting 5 live websites right now so it can't go offline. Any ideas? I'm on the IRC channel as well if anyone can offer help. Thanks, Blake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hijinks 40 Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 is there a reason you are using 2.2? Redhat 9 ships with 2.0.x i believe. You will NEED to use this or you get into RPM hell. Now you can remove that version of ldap like rpm -e --nodeps openldap Then you can use apt to install that real version. You can try to build a rpm for your system if you grab like the latest fedora core3 src.rpm file and re-build it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blake_AE 0 Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 Well, I came upon this system purely as troubleshooter. The previous system builder for some reason put (forced) openldap 2.2 on the system and no, I don't believe it is required unless he added some other package I'm not familiar with. That is entirely possible. I do have the 2.0.27 version to install from the Fedora CD. If I use --nodeps with RPM and remove it, is it going to break the 33 packages currently listed as being dependant on it? HTTPd was among them and since the server and websites are live, I can't have them going down. Thanks for the help! Blake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
