If that is so,you are mistaken.The segfault is what happens with the default version of pure-ftpd-1.0.21-145.1-i586.rpm coming default with OS11.0.Look below. Jun 30 05:54:57 linux-ect8 pure-ftpd: (?@192.168.1.200) [INFO] New connection from 192.168.1.200 Jun 30 05:54:57 linux-ect8 pure-ftpd: (?@192.168.1.200) [INFO] Anonymous user logged in Jun 30 05:54:58 linux-ect8 kernel: pure-ftpd[3675]: segfault at bf3d5e30 ip 0805423d sp bf3d5e30 error 6 in pure-ftpd[8048000+22000] Jun 30 05:54:58 linux-ect8 pure-ftpd: (?@192.168.1.200) [INFO] New connection from 192.168.1.200 Jun 30 05:54:58 linux-ect8 pure-ftpd: (?@192.168.1.200) [INFO] Anonymous user logged in Jun 30 05:54:58 linux-ect8 kernel: pure-ftpd[3676]: segfault at bf3d5e30 ip 0805423d sp bf3d5e30 error 6 in pure-ftpd[8048000+22000] Jun 30 05:54:58 linux-ect8 pure-ftpd: (?@192.168.1.200) [INFO] New connection from 192.168.1.200 Jun 30 05:54:58 linux-ect8 pure-ftpd: (?@192.168.1.200) [INFO] Anonymous user logged in Jun 30 05:54:58 linux-ect8 kernel: pure-ftpd[3677]: segfault at bf3d5e30 ip 0805423d sp bf3d5e30 error 6 in pure-ftpd[8048000+22000] Jun 30 05:54:59 linux-ect8 pure-ftpd: (?@192.168.1.200) [INFO] New connection from 192.168.1.200 Jun 30 05:54:59 linux-ect8 pure-ftpd: (?@192.168.1.200) [INFO] Anonymous user logged in Jun 30 05:54:59 linux-ect8 kernel: pure-ftpd[3678]: segfault at bf3d5e30 ip 0805423d sp bf3d5e30 error 6 in pure-ftpd[8048000+22000] Here the IP 192.168.1.200 belongs to the network printer. For long,I put up with it hoping some update would fix it.When I did not see that happen and switching between OS11.0 and OS 10.3 became a big pain in the ass,I hit upon downgrading.But pure-ftpd-1.0.21-145.1 has a dependency on openldap2-client-2.4.9-7.1 which provides, liblber.2.4.so.2 libldap.2.4.so.2 To downgrade I need , liblber.2.3.so.0 libldap.23.so.0 If i downgrade openldap2-client-2.4.9-7.1,lot of other pacakges depending upon this would also fail.So,what to do?I symlinked liblber.2.4.so.2 to liblber.2.3.so.0.Ditto with libldap. No,that would not still satisfy.This time I ran rpm with '--oldpackage --nodeps' option.It installed and to tell you I am running now pure-ftpd-1.0.21-84-i586 successfully. While listening with respect to your sermoning on symlinking,look here, pbhat@nishanth:/var/log> ls -l /usr/lib/liblbe* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2008-08-11 17:36 /usr/lib/liblber-2.3.so.0 -> /usr/lib/liblber-2.4.so.2.0.5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2008-06-24 20:22 /usr/lib/liblber-2.4.so.2 -> liblber-2.4.so.2.0.5 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 56336 2008-06-07 03:31 /usr/lib/liblber-2.4.so.2.0.5 pbhat@nishanth:/var/log> ls -l /usr/lib/libldap* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2008-08-11 17:37 /usr/lib/libldap-2.3.so.0 -> /usr/lib/libldap-2.4.so.2.0.5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2008-06-24 20:22 /usr/lib/libldap-2.4.so.2 -> libldap-2.4.so.2.0.5 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 259012 2008-06-07 03:31 /usr/lib/libldap-2.4.so.2.0.5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2008-06-24 20:22 /usr/lib/libldapcpp.so.0 -> libldapcpp.so.0.0.5 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 244188 2008-06-07 04:14 /usr/lib/libldapcpp.so.0.0.5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2008-06-24 20:22 /usr/lib/libldap_r-2.4.so.2 -> libldap_r-2.4.so.2.0.5 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 280744 2008-06-07 03:31 /usr/lib/libldap_r-2.4.so.2.0.5 Can you see the plethora of symlinks?Logically a higher version of library would not break a function provided in a lower version just to keep compatibility.So,symlinking a higher version to a lower version name should still work.I tell you man,it worked for me many times.
