making bogus symlinks fixes this problem but it would be better to fix it in the scripts
OK, so
packages/switcher/scripts/post_client_rpm_install and packages/c3/RPMS/python2-2.1.1-1.i386.rpm
are the only files that appear to match this problem.
Bernard, any idea why you haven't seen this?
Jeff, you're making an explicit symlink in the post_client_rpm_install file -- this could be the somewhat cryptic comment in the original report.
I have a dim recollection that this was a hackaround for something. Ah, yes, here's the comment in the file:
# It seems that the modules RPMs were compiled to dynamically link to # /usr/lib/tcl.so.0, but Mandrake 8.2 doesn't have this file. So we # have to create a sym link to make it work. Hackish, but actually # fairly safe because modules don't use too many TCL features.
IIRC, this is from way back before we had distro-specific RPMs. Now that we have that, this hack can probably be removed and we can have different RPMs for each distro that need it.
