Hi Luis,
I have tested the suggested procedure on one of my (remotely controlled)
servers and didn't see any issues.
The command rpm -e --allmatches --nodeps --justdb zlib-devel zlib will only
uninstall the rpm entries, not the files; therefore there is no reason for any program
using the
Hi Johannes,
I decided not to remove it, since the only problem I have with its
current state is that little warning message when I run the
/qtp-ami-up2date /script/. /
Of course, if in future releases of QT requires me to remove it or any
other problems in the future, now I have the
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
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
Thanks very much for that info, Johannes.

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
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
Ufff no good then.
I haven't removed any zlib package as of this point. Thank God I got
this message before that ;), saved me a 3 hours emergency trip lmao.
I'll do my research on that one carefully.
Sincerely,

Yoohoo all My packages are up-to-date.
I do get one little error on:
# ./qtp-ami-up2date
*/usr/sbin/qtp-config: line 117: 3-3
zlib-1: syntax error in expression (error token is zlib-1)*
No New Qmail-Toaster Packages Available
That line has this little if statement which is gibberish to me:

Looks like it's not parsing your zlib package version correctly.
What does your system return for:
# rpm -qa | grep zlib
?
P.S. Glad you're up to date!

The rpm command shouldn't be listing zlib twice. I wonder if your rpm
database is a bit corrupt. You might try
# rpm --rebuilddb
Does that fix it?

That appears to be the case. I'm at a loss as to why the rpm command shows
the same packages twice. You might google a bit to see if you can find
something on it.

My guess is that you're running 64-bit Linux (that is, an x86_64
installation).
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
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
Thanks for that, Dan Eric.
In the mean time, I guess I'll ignore the errors from the Zlib then.

Just a quick note on how I installed this.
1. yum --enablerepo=rpmforge install perl-Archive-Tar
if for some reason it tries all the repos and errors out with bad
checksum go:
/yum clean up
yum check-update
/
2. yum --enablerepo=rpmforge install perl-LWP-UserAgent-Determined
This will install
