[REQUEST] Add to aaa_elflibs libmpfr needed by gawk for Slackware > 14.0
Rationale: mpfr being a dependency of awk (at least in Slackware 14.1), it is needed to make a minimum installation of Slackware (packages series a, ap and n), that can then easily be expanded to a full Slackware, see e.g. this post.
EDIT. Or maybe just include the shared library in the gawk package? PS I changed the title of this thread after analyzing the issue, see post #7. Initially I requested to move the mpfr package from the l/ series to the ap/ series |
It's also a GCC dependency.

If I remember right, that is the role of aaa_elflibs. To resolve hard dependencies, without including/moving the entire packages... Finally, I agree with (and I support) your REQUEST. There is a hard dependency which should be solved in a way or other. :hattip: |

gawk 4.1.0 , shipped in Slackware 14.1 seems to introduce a new dependency, as if I remove the mpfr packages it complains for missing libmpfr.so.4 (which is a symlink to libmpfr.so.4.1.2 installed by the mpfr package), but aaa_elflibs only installs libmpfr.so.1.2.2 and symlink libmpfr.so.1 to it. In slackware 14.0 instead I can remove mpfr, gawk still works. So yes, adding or moving libmpfr.so.4.1.2 and associated symlink libmpfr.so.4 to aaa_elflibs should do the trick. PS I changed the title of this thread accordingly. |
