Hello David...
Thanks for your fast and precise (as usual...:) response. I have to
apologize, I hadn't noticed the popt package; I was looking for a libpopt
package and apparently had the blinders on...:(
Installing popt-1.7-1 fixed everything.
Thanks again,
P.

Re: [tbox-l] Installing rsync-2.5.4-3 fails with libpopt.a dependancy
Hi Pierre,
First the short answer: Installing the latest popt rpm image will give
you
the dependency you need. A link to the image:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/rpm/popt-1.7-1.aix4.3.ppc.rpm
Now the longer answer:
rpm.rte itself only depends on libpopt.so.0 and never included
libpopt.a...
and consequently there was no libpopt.a(libpopt.so.0). The version of
popt
provided originally in the Toolbox was 1.5, without libpopt.a. Last year,
popt was updated to 1.7, which now included libpopt.a. Since the older
rsync
was built with the older popt installed, it just used libpopt.so.0 and
didn't
care about libpopt.a(libpopt.so.0).... and even worked without installing
the
'popt' rpm because the dependency was met by rpm.rte. But when rsync was
updated later, it was built using the newer version of popt, with
libpopt.a.
That means at runtime, it also needs the popt 1.7 rpm installed as a
dependency.
Sometimes when a package is updated, it pulls in new dependencies that it
didn't have before, and this is one of those cases (though I hadn't
noticed
this particular one before).
Installing 1.7 won't hurt your rpm.rte. In fact, the libpopt.so.0 within
rpm.rte 3.0.5.36 is the one from popt version 1.7.
