Problems with dependence libdb-4.0.so

guif · 04-09-2010, 01:51 AM

I have problems to install postfix in Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike).
This is my output:

Code:

[server02].root:/tmp/sendmail>rpm -Uvh postfix-1.1.11-11.i386.rpm
warning: postfix-1.1.11-11.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e
error: Failed dependencies:
        libdb-4.0.so is needed by postfix-1.1.11-11

I check this library:

Code:

[server02].root:/tmp/sendmail>locate libdb-4.0.so
/usr/lib/libdb-4.0.so.old
/usr/lib/libdb-4.0.so
/lib/libdb-4.0.so

[server02].root:/tmp/sendmail>ls -ltrh /usr/lib/libdb-4.0.so
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           17 may 30  2008 /usr/lib/libdb-4.0.so -> /lib/libdb-4.0.so

[server02].root:/tmp/sendmail>ls -ltrh /lib/libdb-4.0.so
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           12 may 30  2008 /lib/libdb-4.0.so -> libdb-4.1.so

What's happend? How can i resolve this issue???

db4-4.0.14-20.i386.rpm

you DO know how OLD RH9 is -- right
and that it has been UNSUPPORTED for a very LONG time .
(Shrike), March 31, 2003 (Linux 2.4.20-8) (this release is labeled "9" not "9.0")

it is recommended NOT to use this old and insecure version.

All I want is to install sendmail. I know it's an older version

-- not just " older" but has been buried 6 feet down for a long time --
good luck finding 6 year old rpm's
or finding the 6 year old source code.

I have the RPM's yet (the CD)
I opened this post to resolve this issue (not to discuss the operating system version)
I search information in www but i can not see the solution.

the OLD red hat used a program called " up2date " to install software

the error is that rpm dose not have that .so in it's database
have you tried this

Code:

rpm --rebuilddb

from the man page

Code:

man rpm

you can use the -force option
a search shows up this

I see this error:

Code:

[server02].root:/var/lib/rpm>rpm --rebuilddb
error: db4 error(16) from dbenv->remove: Device or resource busy

Then I do:

Code:

rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db.00?
rpm --rebuilddb

but I see this error continuously
