Re: [qmailtoaster] spamassassin-toaster-3.2.5-1.3.14 || problem on dependencies || 64 bit CentOS 5 (Resolved)

2008-09-09 Thread Johannes Weberhofer, Weberhofer GmbH

Eric,

there was a major issue with zlib in July 2005 which were eliminated with 
version 1.2.3; all distributors updated their packages in the meantime (most 
backported the security relevant code from 1.2.3 to 1.2.2-x version/release) 
there is really no need anymore to link this library at qmailtoaster or to 
install it on a newer distribution.

Thanks for explaining that, Dan.

I'm guessing that there's probably no need to have a zlib package on the QMT
site any more, but I don't know why it's there to begin with, so I could be
wrong about that.

I think I'll modify the next QTP release simply ignore zlib, as it does
djbdns, given that they're not -toaster- packages anyway.

Thanks again.

If this is the case, the reason you're seeing zlib show up twice is that
you have both the i386 and x86_64 versions installed.

Unfortunately, the rpm command doesn't show you this information, but
I'll bet yum will.

On my own FC5 system, here's what I get

*# rpm -qa | grep zlib*
zlib-devel-1.2.3-1.2.1

zlib-devel.i386  1.2.3-1.2.1installed

Just an FYI -- I've had problems in the past with trying to RE-install
Zlib as part of the QMT installation because I am virtually always
connected via an SSH shell... so I have my install (and update) scripts
skip over Zlib. After all, if zlib isn't there, I am not there either!

So you can skip over any idea you have that the duplicate entries
are any kind of error. It is perfectly normal in an x86_64 environment
for the package to show twice -- once in i386 and once in x86_64.

Now, if you think that's wasteful or duplicitous -- try Gentoo Linux

Luis,

you could uninstall the package using

rpm -e --allmatches --nodeps --justdb zlib-devel zlib

That removes all matching packages from the rpm database ignoring all 
dependencies.
After that reinstall that original package that came with your distribution:

rpm -Uhv --replacefiles zlib-.rpm

That should solve your problems with the rpm-database that lists the package 
twice.

Best regards,
Johannes

Try manually connecting to the database with the mysql client (and

2008-09-09 Thread Dan McAllister

BE CAREFUL Johannes!!!

A LOT of people administer their Linux boxes remotely -- usually via 
SSH. If you REMOVE the zlib package, your SSH connection *_/will /_*drop 
and you will be unable to reconnect. (Not surprisingly, SSH is very 
dependent on the zlib package for its encryption  compression over the 
ssh channels!)


So IF you feel the need to uninstall zlib (IMHO, not a good idea), 
make SURE you're not cutting off your access to your server!


As for the dependency of zlib  djbdns, I have both commented out in 
my build (and update) scripts. I learned ISC's bind many MANY years 
ago, so I never switched to djbdns anyway -- although I do agree with 
Daniel's rationale for creating it -- the caching server and 
authoritative server SHOULD be separate. The problem I have with that is 
that this means you cannot (easily) have a server that serves both 
roles, because both use port 53 -- and it's too late to re-invent DNS at 
this point! (That being said -- I actually started using djbdns on a 
hosted linux server last month -- it only has to be an authoritative 
server, and it is faster than bind in that role.


That's my 2-cents's worth and you get what you pay for

that

you have both the i386 and x86_64 versions installed.

Unfortunately, the rpm command doesn't show you this information, but
I'll bet yum will.

On my own FC5 system, here's what I get

*# rpm -qa | grep zlib*
zlib-devel-1.2.3-1.2.1
zlib-1.2.3-1.2.1
zlib-devel-1.2.3-1.2.1
zlib-1.2.3-1.2.1
*# yum list zlib**
...stuff deleted here...
zlib.i3861.2.3-1.2.1
installed
zlib.x86_64  1.2.3-1.2.1
installed
zlib-devel.x86_641.2.3-1.2.1
installed
zlib-devel.i386  1.2.3-1.2.1
installed


Just an FYI -- I've had problems in the past with trying to RE-install
Zlib as part of the QMT installation because I am virtually always
connected via an SSH shell... so I have my install (and update) 
scripts

skip over Zlib. After all, if zlib isn't there, I am not there either!

So you can skip over any idea you have that the duplicate entries
are any kind of error. It is perfectly normal in an x86_64 environment
for the package to show twice -- once in i386 and once in x86_64.

Now, if you think that's wasteful or duplicitous -- try Gentoo 
Linux

  build everything for your own specific hardware!

I hope this helps... someone!!!

Dan,

you are right; one must be very carefull uninstall the zlib; but the --justdb Option 
should uninstall the package only in in the rpm database.

regarding djbdns - I use it on several locations, it works nicely; I run the 
caching daemon on the main IP and the auth nameserver (for usage within 
offices) on an virtual interface (like eth0:ns).

A LOT of people administer their Linux boxes remotely -- usually via
SSH. If you REMOVE the zlib package, your SSH connection *_/will /_*drop
and you will be unable to reconnect. (Not surprisingly, SSH is very
dependent on the zlib package for its encryption  compression over the
ssh channels!)

So IF you feel the need to uninstall zlib (IMHO, not a good idea),
make SURE you're not cutting off your access to your server!

As for the dependency of zlib  djbdns, I have both commented out in
my build (and update) scripts. I learned ISC's bind many MANY years
ago, so I never switched to djbdns anyway -- although I do agree with
Daniel's rationale for creating it -- the caching server and
authoritative server SHOULD be separate. The problem I have with that is
that this means you cannot (easily) have a server that serves both
roles, because both use port 53 -- and it's too late to re-invent DNS at
this point! (That being said -- I actually started using djbdns on a
hosted linux server last month -- it only has to be an authoritative
server, and it is faster than bind in that role.

That's my 2-cents's worth and you get what you pay for

Luis,

you could uninstall the package using

rpm -e --allmatches --nodeps --justdb zlib-devel zlib

That removes all matching packages from the rpm database ignoring all
dependencies.
After that reinstall that original package that came with your
distribution:

rpm -Uhv --replacefiles zlib-.rpm

That should solve your problems with the rpm-database that lists the
package twice.

Best regards,
Johannes

I'm guessing that there's probably no need to have a zlib package on
the QMT
site any more, but I don't know why it's there to begin with, so I
could be
wrong about that.

I think I'll modify the next QTP release simply ignore zlib, as it does
djbdns, given that they're not -toaster- packages anyway.

Thanks again.

Ufff no good then.

I haven't removed any zlib package as of this point. Thank God I got

I'll do my research on that one carefully.
