Maybe some force is needed?
try the --force option on RPM.
I suspect from your description that RPM looks only at its own database to
determine what is and isn't installed. however when I tried the RPM command on
bzip2, look's like I've got the earlier version.
Seems I've got 0.95 installed from ydl and 1.0.1 installed over the top of it
seems to work as bzip, but libbz2.so.1 isn't there on my machine either.
would it work to create it as a link to /usr/lib/libbz2.a?
/usr/lib/libbz2.a was written by the install for 1.0.1 when I re-installed it
tonight. so where's libbz2.so.1? and what are all those libraries? Two are ust
links to the third, which is the real one. So why so.0.0.0? and why are the two
links so and so.0 needed? How did they come to be needed? Could it have been
avoided? What creates the links? is it some automated facility that manages
libraries as part of the make process. Lots to learn here...
Can we just make libz2.so.1 point to libz2.a? or is there something that has to be
done to libz2.a first?
Probably not, the files are not the same type:
#file /usr/lib/libbz2.a
/usr/lib/libbz2.a: current ar archive
# file /usr/lib/libbz2.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib/libbz2.so.0.0.0: ELF 32-bit MSB shared object, PowerPC or cisco 4500,
version 1, not stripped
to make a so.1 out of a .a, which fine manual should we read?
ls -lah /usr/lib/libbz*

rpm still reports the 0.95 install as being in place even though some of the files
are overwritten.

Summary : A file compression utility.
Description :
Bzip2 is a freely available, patent-free, high quality data compressor.
Bzip2 compresses files to within 10 to 15 percent of the capabilities
of the best techniques available. However, bzip2 has the added benefit
of being approximately two times faster at compression and six times
faster at decompression than those techniques. Bzip2 is not the
fastest compression utility, but it does strike a balance between speed
and compression capability.
