Unsatisfied dep: libcom_err.so.3

[Scott Bell]

After upgrading to the latest in the severn-updates channel, I had one
dependency unfilled -- libcom_err.so.3. This was required by my totem
package so I removed that until the update was complete. Now, prior to
the update that was provided by the kerberos packages but now it doesn't
seem to be provided anymore. I'm assuming that it has been moved to
another package that wasn't in my upgrade path, so I wonder if anyone
can provide any insight on that.

Thanks,

I got around it by rebuilding the source RPMS of totem. I don't know
what caused it, but this is what Matthias suggested.

Cheers,

e2fsprogs and krb5 used to provide separate slightly different versions
of libcom_err. With krb5-1.3, the need for a separate one was removed,
so it just uses the one from e2fsprogs. Hence, you'll need to rebuild
totem so it picks up that one as a dependency.

Thanks a lot, that makes perfect sense. Rebuild was successful.
