RE: Replacing Vendor rpms.

["Steven Hajducko" <steven hajducko digitalinsight com>]

Like I said, it was more of a learning experience since they want to
transition alot of our in-house applications to an RPM format, so I
might as well learn how to do it now and figure out my own mistakes and
the issues I'll run into rather than waiting until they actually start
moving forward on using RPM.

OpenLDAP and OpenSSL were just what I was using to learn with and as
examples.

The original question still stands ( with more information from Frank )
- How do I overwrite the so's for a library that other RPM's are
dependant upon?

Erm ... if you simply want to keep to update 3 and add the latest
OpenLDAP (2.3.27) you can save yourself a lot of work by building Buchan
Milne's srpm:
http://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/buchan/openldap/SRPMS/
put http://qa.mandriva.com/twiki/pub/Main/BackPorting/macros.mdk4rh
into /etc/rpm first. Get the 2.3.27 tgz file from www.openldap.org and
edit the srpm spec file to include this as Source (not the bz2 that
Mandrake's so fond of) and it will build fine and install next to Red
Hat's legacy 2.2.13. You'll have to put up with Buchan's soname and
file/man 2.3 extension tacked onto everything, though; symlinks in
/usr/bin for the 2.3 ->  plain clients work fine.

Best,
