Missing link at libgdm3 installation - OZ 3.3.6
« on: September 08, 2004, 02:22:15 pm »
OS: OZ 3.3.6
Package: libgdbm3
Version: 1.8.3-1

Installing libgdbm3 I found out that in my case 'keyring' was not starting. After a little digging I saw tat the links for libgdbm3 in /usr/lib (to /mnt/ram/usr/lib) have been missing. As I created these links all worked fine.

# pwd
/usr/lib
# ll libgdb*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           29 Sep  5 17:31 libgdbm.so.3 -> /mnt/ram/usr/lib/libgdbm.so.3
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           33 Sep  5 17:31 libgdbm.so.3.0.0 -> /mnt/ram/usr/lib/libgdbm.so.3.0.0


Can one call this a bug? Shall i report this to the OZ bug tracker?

Cheers,

It may be a bug, but before reporting it try deleting the links you made and issue 'ipkg-link add libgdbm3' in the console. See whether that sorts out the symlinks.

If not, then yes, you should bring it up on the oe list (or even submit a patch).

Hmm, that was it. 'ipkg-link' worked. But why this hasn't been done automatically as I installed the package? *gnargl*

thx

It is run if you use aqpkg (whgen you exit the program), but not if you used ipkg from the command line (as you may have wanted to install more stuff so it doesn't waste your time after each install, etc.)

So, to get this right (sorry, can't get my head "completely" around that):
- Using 'aqpkg' runs 'ipkg-links' when I exit it
- Using 'ipkg' this does not happen

Correct...? Just wondering, 'cause I thought 'ipkg' is more sophisticated then the graphical pendant. Also I used 'aqpkg' to install 'libgdbm3'....
