Package: ocfs2-tools
Version: 1.4.4-2

While trying to run mkfs.ocfs2 (Pacemaker cluster stack), I
consistently got the following error:

"Unable to access cluster service while initializing the dlm"

I tracked this down to mkfs.ocfs2 attempting to dlopen()
"libdlm_lt.so".  Unfortunately, this symlink is part of the
"libdlm-dev" package.

Production releases should not depend on development packages.  And if
they do, the dependencies need to be explicit, because errors like
this are painstaking to diagnose.  :-)

To be honest, I am not sure whether this is a bug in ocfs2-tools
(which has this unmentioned dependency on libdlm-dev) or in
redhat-cluster (which puts this .so link in libdlm-dev).  Normally,
.so links are part of development packages, but in this case, perhaps
it belongs in libdlm3 (?).  Let me know if you think I should submit
this bug against redhat-cluster instead.

Thanks!
