RE: [SLUG] rpm to deal with dependencies !!
This email is a bit long, as I want to highlight how I started this so that you get a better idea what is going on. How do I get this install to go without having to worry about rpm dependencies ?? Did it download the libreadline RPM that it needs? If so, just install it manually before running the install script. If not, install it from your Red Hat CD. Like I said it was already downloaded when I ran the installer script. It created a directory /tmp/extrarpms under /tmp with all the required rpms that it needs. The libreadline rpm is installed by this rpm readline-4.2-2.i386.rpm. I've checked this from rpmfind.net as well. Before I installed their WEBppliance upgrade patch they say to update the rpms. So I ran the command : rpm -Uvh /tmp/extrarpms/rpm*.rpm However I hit this problem first: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp]# rpm -Uvh /tmp/extrarpms/rpm*.rpm Preparing... #[100%] 1:rpm # [ 20%] 2:rpm-build # [ 40%] 3:rpm-devel # [ 60%] 4:rpm-perl # [ 80%] 5:rpm-python #[100%] rpmdb: Suspiciously high nelem of 4294967295 on page 0 error: db4 error(-30979) from db-verify: DB_VERIFY_BAD: Database verification failed [EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp]# Someone from another forum (http://forum.rackshack.net/showthread.php?s=postid=124109#post124109) suggested I run this command : rpm --rebuilddb I did that and nothing was reported.

One of the biggest factors of me crossing over to full time linux, at

really frustrated going to websites that run perfectly on IE, and seeing

You need to test these sites with a browser that allows you to change
the browser ident string. Funny how many sites work when they think they
are talking to IE. I would try this before I fiddled with other stuff.

Re: [SLUG] rpm to deal with dependencies !!

Cheers Louis. Hi Louis, Your error message is telling you that you already have the following packages installed which depend on version 4.1 of readline: dump-0.4b21-3 mysql-3.23.54a-3.71 python-1.5.2-43.71 Listed below are some options to fix this problem. 1) Do you need these three packages? To find out what a package does, use rpm -qi packagename You may find that you don't need these particular packages. If you don't need them, you can remove them from your system, then install readline without problems. If you don't need them today, but feel you might need them in the future, uninstall them then refer to option 4 below. *** 2) Upgrade these packages. The versions you list appear to be the latest for RedHat 7.x, however there are later releases. Try looking on rpm.net for later versions: dump-0.4b28-4.i386.rpm python-2.2.1-17.i386.rpm These are the latest RedHat 8.0 releases. There are even later releases, however they may not fit into a RedHat system. If you do use the RedHat 8 releases, you should probably check that they put the files in the same places as per the RedHat 7.x releases. For example, in RedHat version 7, the dump program itself is stored in /sbin/dump. If this location changed in RedHat version 8 (I am not saying it did, just giving an example), then any scripts that rely on the location of the dump program would fail. The latest RedHat (any release) of MySQL is 3.23.54. There is a later version of MySQL, however you would have to get the generic version that MySQL themselves packaged: MySQL-4.0.1-2.i386.rpm This may cause havoc if you already have data in the MySQL database, or if you upgrade to this release, put data into it, then later try to go back to the RedHat endorsed RPMs. A better way may be to recompile version 3.23.54 for the version of readline that you are installing (see item 4). Normally when you do an upgrade, you get a circular problem with version numbers. You cannot upgrade readline because dump requires the old version. You may not be able to upgrade dump because the newer version may require the newer version of readline. Catch-22. To get around this, you list all the packages in the one upgrade statement: rpm -Uvh readline-4.3-3.i386.rpm dump-0.4b28-4.i386.rpm MySQL-4.0.1-2.i386.html python-2.2.1-17.i386.rpm Note: do not do a rpm -U *.rpm. The -U option does an install if a package is not already installed. *** 3) You can force rpm to ignore the dependency by giving the --no-deps option in your install command. Since you are only doing a minor upgrade of readline, this _MAY_ work, however it is generally not a good idea. You would certainly have to test dump, mysql and python after doing the upgrade. *** 4) Possibly the best option is for you to recompile the current (for your system) versions of the dump, mysql and python rpms for the version of readline you are trying to install. That is: install the latest version of readline (either by removing the other three packages or by forcing the upgrade) recompile each of the other 3 packages: rpm --rebuild dump-0.4b21-3.src.rpm install (or upgrade) the rebuilt version. If you forced the upgrade of readline while leaving the other packages on your system, then you will need to tell rpm to upgrade an already installed package. Ie: rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/i386/dump-0.4b21-3.rpm *** No matter which of these you try, if you have data in your MySQL database, then make sure you have a good backup. I strongly recommend that you try this all on a test machine before doing it on your live machine. Regards, Andrew -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/

Is there a way to make smb_auth work with squid and transparent proxying? obviously to authenticate with smb you must allow smb protocols to your squid server. Yep. I'll enlarge on this, the canonical answer: when a client has it's TCP session hijacked, the only http authentication it will do is server-authentication (prompted for by a 401 return code). If the hijacking proxy uses that to force authentication, it will a) need to do it for every different website browsed too, b) break any website that uses authentication. Thus, to get authentication working on your local proxy, you MUST NOT use tcp hijacking. There is an even more substantial answer in the archives a few weeks back.
