Why do you say your rpm install would fail? It should find the library and carry on accordingly. Have you tried it? -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Chris St. Pierre Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2006 1:54 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: RE: libcrypto names While that would functionally work, my RPM install would still fail -- unless I use --force, I suppose. That's ugly, though, as we don't have --force written into any of our scripts, crontabs, Cfengine rules, etc., and don't want to. I'm looking for a way to do this "politely," I guess.
