I'll keep this offline for a moment. There is a RedHat
krb5-libs-1.2.7-14 rpm that has libcom_err.so.3 in it
If it is installed with the --oldpackage option
and a link is made in /lib to /usr/kerberos/lib/libcom_err.so.3.0,
is this going to break anything?
I see some arguments about there being two libraries, but no resolution.
