[gcmd-dev] Fwd: Fwd: g-c issue with CentOS 7.5 upgrade - some GOOD news

[Ken Taylor]

I searched around on my server and found the virtual machine image
(CentOS 7.4) which I had last used to build g-c 1.8.1. When I attempted
to upgrade to 7.5 I received the error described in the original email. 
I uninstalled g-c with rpm -e and then attempted the upgrade again. It
worked. After a reboot to load the new kernel I performed configure,
make, make install. All ran with no apparent errors. g-c is installed
and seems to be running fine on CentOS 7.5. I have not yet done a
thorough test.

Perhaps the resolution is to ask the folks at nux-dextop to rebuild the
rpm package on a CentOS 7.5 machine? I will take the liberty to post
that to the nux forum - at least to get it in their test repo.

I am downloading the CentOS 7.5 image and will build a new VM from
scratch and attempt to build g-c all the way from source to an rpm
package (if I can remember how). I will post my results to the list.

CentOS 7.5 has hit the main repos and broken g-c as I described
earlier.   I have no idea what "libexiv2.so.12" is or does.  If I get a
chance I may try locating it in the .spec file and just bumping up the
version. All it can do is break g-c. However, 7.5 proposes to break some
other things on my systems and those have to take priority.

Good morning (or afternoon)

I just ran my routine updates on a CentOS 7.4 machine. Yum proposed to
ungrade everything including the kitchen sink. Must be the 7.5 upgrade.
These big upgrades always breaks something :-( In this case I received
this message re. gnome-commander

Error: Package: 4:gnome-commander-1.8.1-2.el7.nux.x86_64 (@nux-dextop)
           Requires: libexiv2.so.12()(64bit)
           Removing: exiv2-libs-0.23-6.el7.x86_64 (@base)
               libexiv2.so.12()(64bit)
           Updated By: exiv2-libs-0.26-3.el7.x86_64 (cr)
              ~libexiv2.so.26()(64bit)

I notice that the offending library is coming from the CR repo. I did
not think I had that enabled on any of my machines but apparently I did
on this one (the wife's desktop of all things :-((

Anyhow it looks like a heads up for when 7.5 hits the main repo.
