Re: [Bacula-users] Fedora - RHEL/CentOS rpm repository

Hello,

you're right, there's a mistake in the packaging. The symlink should not point to the backend versioned lib but to the generic one. Instead of:

# cd /etc/alternatives
# ls -lgh libbaccats*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root 38 Jun 6 18:41 libbaccats-5.2.7.so -> /usr/lib64/libbaccats-sqlite3-5.2.7.so
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root 38 Jun 6 18:41 libbaccats.so -> /usr/lib64/libbaccats-sqlite3-5.2.7.so

Should be:

# ls -lgh libbaccats*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root 32 Jun 6 18:57 libbaccats.so -> /usr/lib64/libbaccats-sqlite3.so

This way, when you update, instead of this:

# alternatives --config libbaccats.so

There are 6 programs which provide 'libbaccats.so'.

Selection    Command
-----------------------------------------------
   1           /usr/lib64/libbaccats-mysql-5.2.6.so
+ 2           /usr/lib64/libbaccats-sqlite3-5.2.6.so
* 3           /usr/lib64/libbaccats-postgresql-5.2.6.so
   4           /usr/lib64/libbaccats-mysql-5.2.7.so
   5           /usr/lib64/libbaccats-sqlite3-5.2.7.so
   6           /usr/lib64/libbaccats-postgresql-5.2.7.so

Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number:

You get the correct symlink pointing to the unversioned library whose name doesn't change:

# alternatives --config libbaccats.so

There are 3 programs which provide 'libbaccats.so'.

Selection    Command
-----------------------------------------------
   1           /usr/lib64/libbaccats-mysql.so
+ 2           /usr/lib64/libbaccats-sqlite3.so
* 3           /usr/lib64/libbaccats-postgresql.so

Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number:

I will push an update to the repository and send an update here.

Thanks,

Hello Simone,

I had a bit of trouble with that update on a CentOS 6 server that
had been running fine with Bacula 5.2.6 from the same repo.
After the update, the director wouldn't start, complaining that
it couldn't find its database.
It turned out that the alternatives where completely hosed.
The master was pointing to PostgreSQL instead of MySQL which I
use, and there was still a libbaccats-5.2.6.so slave hanging
around which pointed nowhere.
I ended up manually deleting all the libbaccats alternatives and
rerunning the install scriptlet of the bacula-libs-sql package
and the "alternatives --config" command; after that everything
ran fine again.

HTH,
Tilman
