[opensuse] Why is package libpcap 0.94 contains library 0.93 !?!
I have a one little question: WHAT THE HELL !?!? openSUSE 10.2 contains package called "libpcap-0.9.4-30" but internally it has a library of a previous version ! "/usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.9.3" !!!

I'm not sure I understand your question. Do you mean "Where is hell" or perhaps "What is hell"?

bugzilla.novell.com is for technical issues regarding Novell/SUSE products. Not a place where you will find answers to your religious questions. So ignoring the fact that you have this religious issue in that bug report, I also see that there's an issue with libpcap, so I wont close it. In the future, please only report one issue per bug report.

Well, actually I have only 1 issue - the technical one - that my affect other susers.

Good. So I hope we wont see you adding your religious questions to this list and bugzilla in the future then.

Sure, but is that sort of language really needed to make a point? Don't you honestly think that people are more inclined to help if the question is asked politely?

Alexey, the source rpm contains the version 0.9.4, and the specfile is quite straightforward. I would think that you might want to rebuild the rpm and see for yourself. There is a newer version 0.9.5 available on the project's website http://www.tcpdump.org/. Maybe that will help with your problems. -- Gruß Andreas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The SRPM does *NOT* interest me. What interests me is that third-party software refuses to run due to bug in openSUSE. -- -Alexey Eremenko "Technologov" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Please, stop flooding bugzilla with this kind of stuff.. this is a really minor problem ..indeed, the library SONAME is outdated (maybe on purpose, to avoid break applications linked to that version), however this is no problem to properly compiled software, even more when software has source code available. just to prove you are wrong, I created in 15 minutes, a package of the mentioned "dynamips" software you can (or will be able to) find it here: http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/elvigia/openSUSE_10.2/ Third party binaries are not an openSUSE problem. Alexey, I see you have a lot of energy and time to do something for openSUSE, try to focus your energy better,in productive, useful things rather than in this and other pointless stuff..it just makes people to waste their time.

ok, so let's at least provide the correct symlink, if you say that the package is ok.

Yes, I have some time now (some months are free), so I have focues on Lessons for Lizards (LfL), and wrote the majority of the book. (over 50% content are my articles), and now I have started the AppArmored FireFox thing... you're welcome too... for AppArmored FireFox check in openSUSE bugzilla, and for LfL link is here: http://en.opensuse.org/Documentation since i'm not a programmer, I cannot improve the code directly, but I do a lot of beta-testing, user support, and other things that are kind of invisible. -- -Alexey Eremenko "Technologov"

What are you talking about ?! There is no symlink to be provided there... Is it that hard for you yo understand that since the library has changed thing depending on it will need to be rebuild, and as far as the soname goes there is no reason why the programmer of a library *have* to update it at each version.. should have *if* it break compatibility with old binary, but this ain't really our problem. -- "Why can't humans just reboot instead of sleeping, so much wasted cycles" -Zombie Coder.

No, that wasn't on purpose. Vanilla libpcap doesn't support versioned dynamic libraries, so we (SuSE) created a patch that adds this. This patch had a bug in that the version was hard coded. I've checked in a libpcap package that does use the package version. So FACTORY and all coming versions of openSUSE will have it fixed.
