net-snmp holding up testing rawhide

[Jim Cornette]

Using yum to update programs or using up2date would complain about a 
required version of the library, older than the one that is currently 
provided by the latest rawhide content.

Why is this a requirement for the older libs? Is the dependacy actually 
needed?

.Package net-snmp needs librpm-4.2.so, this is not available.
Package net-snmp needs librpmdb-4.2.so, this is not available.
Package net-snmp needs librpmio-4.2.so, this is not available.

I successfully installed a fresh installation of Rawhide on January 4th. 
I later found a conflict between net-snmp and submitted a bug on the 
conflicting problems with other programs.

I have now tried to do another rawhide installation on jan 11 and jan 12 
with no luck. I then decided to do a fresh install of Fedora 1, then try 
for an upgrade through rawhide. This dumped also and a bug was reported 
for these issues.

Also, xmms does not create a dafault .xmms directory on a clean install. 
If one was to import a directory from another instalation and launch 
xmms, it would work as it should.

This bug is for someone elses troubles. I could not track down my bug 
report.

I am amazed how one program with conflicting dependacies is able to 
bring down a lot of other operating system features.

Good luck,

Jim
