Lou asked me to take a look at a linux machine that was failing to
update from 8.4.25 to 9.0.28. The problem turned out to be a locally
installed rpm that created a dependency failure. Once I removed that
rpm the machine was happy to update. However, the update encounteres
a problem:
+ athena-sendmail ##################################################
/usr/sbin/sendmail: error while loading shared libraries: libdb.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
error: execution of %post scriptlet from athena-sendmail-9.0-3 failed, exit status 127
Which in turn caused lilo to fail to run at the end of the update. (I
believe that bug is already fixed.) I cleaned up the mess, but Greg
said I should report the bug for completeness.
