Description Tod M. Neidt (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-04-17 23:49:46 UTC 
Hi!

libpopt is installed by two different packages ( dev-libs/popt and app-arch/rpm
) which can lead to problems, see
http://lists.gentoo.org/pipermail/gentoo-user/2002-April/021057.html

I guess I would suggest, preventing app-arch/rpm from installing its libpopt and
if necessary make it depend on dev-libs/popt

Sounds good, tod.  Wanna tackle this?
Comment 2 Tod M. Neidt (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-04-22 17:07:02 UTC 
OK :)

Submitted this so I wouldn't forget.

FYI (notes for me)

rpm-3.0.6 uses popt-1.3.5 ?

rpm-4.0.4 uses popt-1.6 ?

I took the liberty of fixing this, because I needed it working. The new revision of rpm has a big makefile patch to make it use the system libpopt. It may be convertible to a few seds but it's not trivial.
