Hi all.
This may be a little off topic, but I thought the people in this list
will be most knowledgeable in this area. Please email me replies.
I've been trying to install libstdc++-2.9.0 on top of libstdc++-2.8.0
while I was upgrading to egcs 1.1. As it turns out, this is a problem
under RH5.1 because many packages do not have dependencies on libstdc++
as a package, but on libstdc++.so.2.8 as a file. Trying to upgrade
libstdc++, then, breaks a lot of dependencies :
# rpm -Uvh libstdc++-2.9.0-1.i386.rpm
failed dependencies:
libstdc++ = 2.8.0 is needed by libstdc++-devel-2.8.0-8
libstdc++.so.2.8 is needed by groff-1.11a-6
libstdc++.so.2.8 is needed by qt-1.40-1rh51
libstdc++.so.2.8 is needed by qt-devel-1.40-1rh51
libstdc++.so.2.8 is needed by lyx-0.12.0-3
libstdc++.so.2.8 is needed by ical-2.2-7
libstdc++.so.2.8 is needed by fvwm2-2.0.47-1
I don't want to force the installation because then the dependencies are
broken and I don't know what havoc may ensue.
What am I supposed to do ?
