I just make postgresql 8.1 rpm for mandriva and I was making basic test. I made in pgfoundry the module pgrpm (rpm function in postgres).
However after installing postgresql 8.1 I have: ERREUR: unable to load library «/usr/lib64/pgsql/pgrpm.so»: /usr/lib64/pgsql/pgrpm.so: undefined symbol: MemoryContextSwitchTo Well the problem here is the module was build with postgresql 8.0. I will rebuild the module ASAP, this is not a problem. The problem is rpm has no way to detect this kind of issue: $ rpm -q --requires pgrpm rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 libc.so.6()(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4)(64bit) librpm-4.4.so()(64bit) Does anyone allready think to add marker into module, and maybe into postgres and giving a way to rpm or other packaging tools to detect broken linkage ? To fix the issue, I will add a provide into postgresql-server package, something like postgresql-ABI = 8.1, add equivalent requires into modules.
