i tried :[root@Fedora10-test hgs]# yum install libcrypto.so.6

Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit

Setting up Install Process

Parsing package install arguments

No package libcrypto.so.6 available.

Nothing to do

 

and :

[root@Fedora10-test hgs]# yum install libssl.so.6

Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit

Setting up Install Process

Parsing package install arguments

No package libssl.so.6 available.

it turns out fedora 10 has libssl.so.7 and libcrypto.so.7 but this is stopping yum update working

thanks for any help

[kmount]

I'm not a fedora man but I'd suggest disabling the EPEL repository and try and update then.

[srochford]

I remember having similar problems with FreeBSD and read various recommendations that you just make a symlink to point to (say) libssl.so.7

 

this feels horribly wrong but it might be worth a try :-)

[llawwehttam]

what exactly do you you mean by that and how do i do it

thanks

[Gatt]

do this:

 

# cd /lib

# ln -s libssl.so.7 libssl.so.6

# ls

 

 

A Symbolic link is a bit like a shortcut - so libssl.so.6 acts like a shortcut to libssl.so.7

 

if you do ls -l in the /lib you will see something like this:

 

# ls -l 
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      11 2009-02-20 11:24 libssl.so.6 -> libssl.so.7
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      16 2009-02-18 21:06 libssl.so.7 -> libssl.so.0.9.8g

any more help appreciated

[RabbieBurns]

yum install openssl

 

Maybe?

[llawwehttam]

[root@Fedora10-test hgs]# yum install openssl

Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit

Setting up Install Process

Parsing package install arguments

Package openssl-0.9.8g-12.fc10.i686 already installed and latest version

Nothing to do

 

thats the problem it needs an earlier version

[RabbieBurns]

what does the results of Gatts suggestion show?

 

ls -l /lib/libcrypto.so.*

[Gatt]

yeah checked my F10 install - openssl provides libssl.so.7 not 6...

Cant find any rpm that provides 6 yet

[llawwehttam]

[root@Fedora10-test hgs]# ls -l libssl.so.7 libssl.so.6

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2009-02-20 12:08 libssl.so.6 -> libssl.so.7

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2009-02-20 12:08 libssl.so.7 -> libssl.so.7

 

any other suggestions???

[Gatt]

[root@Fedora10-test hgs]# ls -l libssl.so.7 libssl.so.6

any other suggestions???

 

libssl.so.7 is linked to itself? (if colour is on it appears red)

 

do an ls -l libssl* and look for something like libssl.so.0.9.8g

then remove the libssl.so.7 (rm libssl.so.7) and recreate it to the libssl.so.0.9.8g from earlier.

 

# cd /lib

# ls -l libssl*

# rm libssl.so.7

# ln -s libssl.so.0.9.8g libssl.so.7

 

(replace libssl.so.0.9.8g with yours..)

[llawwehttam]

[root@Fedora10-test lib]# ls -l libssl*

no difference

[llawwehttam]

oooh but for libcrypt i get

 

[root@Fedora10-test lib]# ls -l libcrypt*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 49512 2008-12-08 13:33 libcrypt-2.9.so

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2009-02-20 11:32 libcrypt.so.6 -> libcrypt.so.7

 

last bit is red???

[Gatt]

it should be

 

libcrypto.so.6 -> libcrypto.so.7

 

your missing the 'o' and the end of libcrypto

remove the symlink and re-create it

[Gatt]

Not had anyluck yet in tracking down an RPM with libssl.so.6

Though I have openssl installed with no libssl.so.6

 

try

# yum clean all

 

then try and install openssl again

[sparkeh]

This could be symptomatic of another problem as F10 doesn't provide libssl.so.6 but uses libssl.so.7

 

This can happen after a failed upgrade, or pointing at the wrong repositories.

 

Check up on those as well.

[llawwehttam]

I tried yum clean all but no luck so I know this sounds dumb but how do i change the link again?

[Gatt]

rm /path/to/link-file

ln -s sourcefile linkname

[llawwehttam]

kk ty for all the help but im going back to FC8 cos i could use it

I HATE CHANGE

[Gatt]

Did you do a clean install of FC10 or upgrade?

may be worth trying the install again..
