FC3: Apache doesn't start after recent update

[Frank]

I allowed the gui tool to update apache today, and now when I try to 
start it I get this error:

Starting httpd: /usr/sbin/httpd: relocation error: 
/lib/libaprutil-0.so.0: undefined symbol: gdbm_errno

I had previously installed php5 but have not made any other changes to 
it.  What is a relocation error, and how does one fix it?

For whatever reason, your copy of libaprutil was linked against gdbm. It 
appears that you have run into either versioning issues, or have 
uninstalled gdbm. Getting the latest RPMs for both gdbm and httpd and 
reinstalling them should fix this particular relocation error.

My apologies.  Most of the machines I am working with these days are FC3 
but the problem I report below is on a Redhat Enterprise3 server at EV1, 
so it is not an FC3 problem at all.  Just the same, if anybody has any 
pointers about how to move forward on this problem I'd love to hear them 
(privately, as this is off-topic for this list.)

Sorry about posting the question here.  Working too hard I guess.

Indeed, [e-mail] is the appropriate forum for RHEL3
questions.  But generally, check that you have the correct packaged
version of apr-util, e.g for RHEL3:

# rpm -qf /usr/lib/libaprutil-0.so.0
httpd-2.0.46-44.ent

this kind of issue is often caused by using bad third-party apr-util
packages.
