cal dependency issue?

[Christian Jorgensen]

I installed the new util-linux package, but when running the cal utility, I get the following error:

Could not load program cal:
rtld: 0712-001 Symbol libutil_err was referenced
      from module cal(), but a runtime definition
            of the symbol was not found.
rtld: 0712-001 Symbol libutil_errx was referenced
      from module cal(), but a runtime definition
            of the symbol was not found.
rtld: 0712-001 Symbol libutil_warn was referenced
      from module cal(), but a runtime definition
            of the symbol was not found.
rtld: 0712-001 Symbol libutil_warnx was referenced
      from module cal(), but a runtime definition
            of the symbol was not found.
rtld: 0712-002 fatal error: exiting.

Seems like there is something missing? Like the cal utility was build with a reference to a library libutil that was not included or upgraded during install of the util-linux package….

[Musse]

These symbols were added in libutil 0.10.0.

Which version of libutil do you have installed?

$ yum list installed libutil2

[Christian Jorgensen]

libutil2.ppc64                                                                                    0.9.1-1

On several servers…

[Musse]

util-linux package is now rebuilt to require libutil2 >= 0.10.0. Please upgrade and report back. Thanks!

[Christian Jorgensen]

I get the following error after the rebuild:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Is the new libutil2 in the repository?

[Musse]

ah you were right it was not there. It is deployed now and available in the repo.

[Christian Jorgensen]

It works now - thanks!
