Description Harald Jung 2005-10-24 08:26:43 UTC

After the mysql update triggerd by emerge -u world, postfix doesn't work anymore.
Oct 24 11:43:59 elcheffe postfix/master[1258]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/pickup:
bad command startup -- throttling
Oct 24 11:43:59 elcheffe postfix/master[1258]: warning: process
/usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 21400 exit status 127

elcheffe ~ # postsuper
postsuper: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.12: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

ldconfig doesn't create the link by itself, so i did it manually :
elcheffe ~ # ln -s /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.14 /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.12
elcheffe ~ # postsuper
elcheffe ~ #
After creating the link the mailsystem works without problems.

Reproducible: Always

Who said so.12 and so.14 are compatible so you can just symlink?  This is most
often a bad idea. Use revdep-rebuild, Portage has no support for reverse
dependency resolution builtin (yet).
