Обсуждение: Upgrade to postgresql 8.01
Hi,
I wanted to upgrade Postgre Server from 7.4 to 8.0. I downloaded the rpm's and made the upgrade.
I use Suse Linux 9.1. Everything worked fine exept a single thing: YAST always says that libdb-4.1.so is required by postgresql server( I think it requires the db4.1). I looked in the Berkeley DB Database Library package and I have libdb-4.2.so installed(db4.2.52). Also at the installation Yast told me this message. I just ignored it.
Now, the database runs well( from what I could notice in 30 minutes) but this error still worries me.
What is to be done? I readed on a forum that some files like libdb-4.2.so must be linked in libdb-4.1.so. I linked only this file but don't know if that is just the correct thing to do.
Please advice.
Thanks.
Andy.

Postgres does not use libdb at all. Sounds to me like a packaging error
on Suse's part ... suggest complaining to them.

I am guess that the package was compiled up for possibly SuSE 9.0? The error is reasonably harmless but you are going to break your RPM dependency requirements. If you ever use an auto-updater PostgreSQL might likely break because the updater will change the packages around. I would suggest grabbing the .src.rpm and compiling it. Sincerely, Joshua D.
