problem in updating to libdhcp6client-1.0.so.2

[ohm]

According to pup and yum, libdhcp6client-1.0.so.2 was available and ready to update. But be careful here since, the dependencies on this package are incorrectly specified, some packages depend on the predecessor libdhcp6client-0.10.so.0 that this upgrade (unfortunately) replaces.

For example

[root@localhost lib]# ldd `which nash`
...
libdhcp6client-0.10.so.0 => not found

Yum thinks that libdhcp6client has many dependencies:

[root@localhost lib]# yum remove libdhcp6client.ppc
...

In my system only /sbin/grubby and /sbin/nash directly reference libdhcp6client, but i doubt that an update from 0.1 to 1.0 would work transparently (if sym linked). So I down loaded the old package and installed it using --oldpackage.

Oh how I miss installp (AIX) wihch had the moxie to recognize library levels. C'est la vie.

[root@localhost lib]# ldd `which nash`

I like that `trick` -- will have to remember that.

Anyway, I think that issue re: libdhcp6client may be what is hosing up the install of my custom kernel for the PS3 (to fix bluetooth) ... users who have updated to the new libdhcp6client package report that the custom kernel rpm doesn't install properly. When I tested it I was using a fresh install of YDL 6.2 with no updates installed.

Said custom kernel rpm is here:

EDIT: Does this sound right? viewtopic.php?p=33671#p33671

I would not be surprised that libdhcp6client being the issue. I'll have to try your kernel. Having the BT keyboard would be nice.
