That old mysql (Version 3) is already restricted to distributions 10.[45] only, but one still needs the dependencies in order to build it (though I generally agree with the idea of sending unused libraries into the land of only -shlibs on platforms where it exists at all). Someone on that old dist needs to upgrade it to a newer gdbm dep or else revive that old gdbm on those platforms. Unrelatedly, the OBOSLETE warning is not resolveable, because the the noted package is indeed obsolete in later versions even though it wasn't when *this* package was the current version of it. dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Windows Azure Live!
