These are the two RPMs (of the 4 amanda RPMs that are running on our production servers) that need some libification: [bgmilne bgmilne]$ rpm -qlp rpm/RPMS/i586/amanda-devel-2.4.2p2-1mdk.i586.rpm /usr/lib/libamanda.a /usr/lib/libamanda.la /usr/lib/libamclient.a /usr/lib/libamclient.la /usr/lib/libamserver.a /usr/lib/libamserver.la /usr/lib/libamtape.a /usr/lib/libamtape.la [bgmilne bgmilne]$ rpm -qlp rpm/RPMS/i586/amanda-2.4.2p2-1mdk.i586.rpm /etc/amanda /etc/amandates /usr/lib/libamanda-2.4.2p2.so /usr/lib/libamanda.so /usr/lib/libamtape-2.4.2p2.so /usr/lib/libamtape.so /usr/sbin/amrestore /usr/share/man/man8/amrestore.8.bz2 /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts /var/lib/lib/amanda Hack the makefile? Arbitrarily name the lib package to 0? I have asked about the use of unversioned libs on the amanda mailing list to no avail so far ... Or maybe thy're just versioning them in a weird way? -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 85808 Apr 25 00:16 /usr/lib/libamanda-2.4.2p2.so* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 20 May 18 21:56 /usr/lib/libamanda.so -> libamanda-2.4.2p2.so* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9532 Apr 25 00:16 /usr/lib/libamtape-2.4.2p2.so* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 20 May 18 21:56 /usr/lib/libamtape.so -> libamtape-2.4.2p2.so* Thanks Buchan
