Subject: upgrade howto
Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2005 00:06:24 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1119395184.9416.31.camel@localhost> (raw)
What is the safest way of upgrading libselinux and libsepol?
I attempted it a couple of weeks ago and had to resort to statically
linked copies of ls and tar to restore the previous version after the
upgrade broke my system. Clearly, I did something wrong. What is scary
is that a lot of the core system utilities are linked against libselinux
(ls, init, portage, etc) and that when I upgrade, it would seem that I
need to rebuild them (as just upgrading the library left them unusable)
- which is impossible without these basic tools... catch 22?
Note: this is on a Gentoo system where everything is compiled from
source and so a big rpm upgrade transaction is simply not an option
here.
Thanks
Antoine
