Hello David... Thanks for your fast and precise (as usual...:) response. I have to apologize, I hadn't noticed the popt package; I was looking for a libpopt package and apparently had the blinders on...:( Installing popt-1.7-1 fixed everything. Thanks again, P.

Subject Re: [tbox-l] Installing rsync-2.5.4-3 fails with libpopt.a dependancy Hi Pierre, First the short answer: Installing the latest popt rpm image will give you the dependency you need. A link to the image: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/rpm/popt-1.7-1.aix4.3.ppc.rpm Now the longer answer: rpm.rte itself only depends on libpopt.so.0 and never included libpopt.a... and consequently there was no libpopt.a(libpopt.so.0). The version of popt provided originally in the Toolbox was 1.5, without libpopt.a. Last year, popt was updated to 1.7, which now included libpopt.a. Since the older rsync was built with the older popt installed, it just used libpopt.so.0 and didn't care about libpopt.a(libpopt.so.0).... and even worked without installing the 'popt' rpm because the dependency was met by rpm.rte. But when rsync was updated later, it was built using the newer version of popt, with libpopt.a. That means at runtime, it also needs the popt 1.7 rpm installed as a dependency. Sometimes when a package is updated, it pulls in new dependencies that it didn't have before, and this is one of those cases (though I hadn't noticed this particular one before). Installing 1.7 won't hurt your rpm.rte. In fact, the libpopt.so.0 within rpm.rte 3.0.5.36 is the one from popt version 1.7. -- David Clissold cl...@au...
