maildrop requires libcourierauth.so.0

I recently upgraded maildrop on a lot of servers, but the ones still running FC2 are still failing because the rpm still requires libcourierauth.so.0. The rpms for other distro's also erroneously required that before you fixed it, but apparently it's not fixed for FC2 yet.

Man you're not going to make me work on FC2 again are you

I was so hoping I could stop supporting that.

I'm not making you, but I'm migrating all our boxes to CentOS and I still have some Fedora ones that I need to take care of. It'd be great of you could fix this.

Should be there now. I didnt change the version number so clean your yum cache out first.

But hey, seriously, thanks!

Just to say, I'm also seriously impressed with your service Scott!.. just great.

I'm working on a FC2 server and want to install qmail-scanner.
I've changed my yum.conf and tried to install qmail-scanner by typing
>yum install qmail-scanner
When resolving the dependencies, it appears that the maildrop package needed still requires libcourierauth.so.0.

Here's the message i got :

[root@... /]# yum install qmail-scanner
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Atomic Rocket Turtle - 2 - Atomic PSA-Compatible RPMS
Server: Atomic Rocket Turtle - 2 - Atomic PSA App Vault RPMS
Server: Atomic Rocket Turtle - 2 - SW-Soft PSA 7.5 RPMS

Resolving dependencies
.....Unable to satisfy dependencies
Package maildrop needs libcourierauth.so.0, this is not available.

I've installed courier-authlib manually to get libcourierauth.so.0 but nothing to do, it doesn't work.

I'm surprised because according to this post the problem has been fixed and i don't know what to do ! If someone can help me please !

Thanks in advance

It is April 2008. FC2 reached End of Life in July 2006.

Thanks for your advice breun, but I don't have the choice : I must work on FC2, because I must install my package on an existing server. So I'd be happy to have a useful answer.

Thank you for any help

Scott will have the definitive answer, but he doesn't support Fedora Core 2 anymore in ART. The maildrop package on our CentOS machines doesn't seem to require libcourierauth.

How did you install it manually? If you didn't use an rpm package, then rpm won't know about libcourierauth being available. If the library is available in the right location you could try and force install the maildrop rpm.

But I'd really start pushing for a migration to a supported OS.

Not it.
