SOLVED:Aptupgrade questions

[djohnston]

After installing from the current Bonsai test iso and fully updating, aptupgrade didn't install correctly due to missing libraries. I'm wanting to run aptupgrade on a fully updated Bonsai 2010.11 installation. Since I can only run it once, I want to get it right the first time. I think I've located and installed all the missing libraries and shared objects, but have questions about the rpm ones. The part I'm asking about is highlighted below.

error: Failed dependencies:
   librpm1 = 4.8.1-4pclos2011 is needed by rpm-4.8.1-4pclos2011.i586
   librpmbuild.so.1 is needed by rpm-4.8.1-4pclos2011.i586
   librpmio.so.1 is needed by rpm-4.8.1-4pclos2011.i586
   librpm.so.1 is needed by rpm-4.8.1-4pclos2011.i586

Here are the ones currently installed:

/usr/lib/librpm-4.4.so
/usr/lib/librpmbuild-4.4.so
/usr/lib/librpmio-4.4.so

Installed apt version is 0.5.15lorg3.94a, and installed rpm version is 4.4.6.

What I'm concerned about are the missing so.1 objects. Are these dynamically created when aptupgrade runs, or do I need to create softlinks before running aptupgrade?

Solved.

What was the actual answer dj ?

I had to backtrack through the logs to see what I had done. While testing the current Bonsai Openbox, I had run aptupgrade. But, it failed due to missing dependencies. Part of the terminal output was:

error: Failed dependencies:
   liblua.so.5.1 is needed by librpm1-4.8.1-4pclos2011.i586
   libnss3.so is needed by librpm1-4.8.1-4pclos2011.i586

   libssl3.so is needed by rpm-4.8.1-4pclos2011.i586

I have Bonsai 2010.11 installed on my PIII, and want to keep it fully updated. So, I installed the following packages.

liblua5.1
libnss3 (libnssutil3 installed as dependency)
nss (libsmime3 & libssl3 installed as dependencies)
python-rpmbuild (installs libsoftokn3 as dependency)
rpm-build (librpmbuild & librpmio installed as dependencies)
m4 (because HootieGibbon said it would be needed)

The final result was:

^C

I then verified the apt version.

[darrel@My_PIII ~]$ apt-get --version
