[Bacula-users] Can 5.0.1-2 be built for FC6?

Kind Bacula Users,

I am attempting to build and use bacula-5.0.1-2 under Fedora Core 6. (The OS is not mine to upgrade, so need to find a way to work with FC6.) Has anyone done that?

I have tried building from source rpm (and installing the resulting base rpm) without success. Here’s what I’ve done plus the results of same:

Downloaded bacula-5.0.1-2.src.rpm, and installed it on my FC6 build system under /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS.
Changed permissions on /usr/src/redhat (and all its subdirectories) so that ordinary users can read and write there.
As an ordinary user, executed

rpmbuild -ba --define "build_fc6 1" --define "fedora_version 6" --define "build_postgresql 1" /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/bacula.spec > rpmbuild.log 2>&1

According to rpmbuild.log, this may be producing a good build. The following (possibly benign) error messages were found:

+ rm -rf /var/tmp/bacula-root

+ mkdir -p /var/tmp/bacula-root/etc/init.d

+ mkdir -p /var/tmp/bacula-root/etc/logrotate.d

Attempting to install the resulting bacula-postgresql-5.0.1-2.i386.rpm fails the dependency check:

[root@target]# rpm -i bacula-postgresql-5.0.1-2.i386.rpm

error: Failed dependencies:

libpq.so.5 is needed by bacula-postgresql-5.0.1-2.i386

perl(Logwatch) is needed by bacula-postgresql-5.0.1-2.i386

[root@target]#

I can resolve the perl(Logwatch) dependency easily enough, but I’m at a loss as to how to deal with the libpq.so.5 dependency. The shared library is provided by postgresql-libs for PostgreSQL 8.2 and later, but upgrading the database server to that version is not an option in this environment. Yet I haven’t found a way to “turn off” the requirement of libpq.so.5.

Is it possible to require libpq.so.4 instead of libpq.so.5? Do we know it’s possible to build and use bacula-5.0.1 under FC6?

Thanks,

Steve Tice
