Sorry, I think I started this "cranky" thing because someone complained 
that this thread had already appeared in an earlier posting.   not 
surprisingly, this is a very busy list.   I had just joined and naively
missed just how big this was.   I has only looked at the lists at
fedora.us.

I was one of the people who had trouble with the libcom_err.so.3 issue.
I'm not sure why.   Before upgrading to Fedora, I believe I also 
upgraded openssh.  This was a Fedora upgrade.   After the upgrade, both 
sshd and X complained about not being able to find "libcom_err.so.3"
The "fix" was to replace whatever version of openssh I had with the 
version that was actually on the Fedora distribution.  So, from where 
did I get a version of sshd that was looking for libcom_err.so.3?   I 
thought it was from the updated RedHat ssh that was a fix for a security
problem.

I'm further confused because libcom_err.so.2 is provided by the 
<e2fsprogs> rpm.   Checking the varvious krb5_libs rpms only added to my
confusion:

<krb5-libs-1.3.1-6>, which is provided by the Fedora 					distribution 
does NOT provide libcom_err.so.3

<krb5-libs-1.2.7-10.i386.rpm>
<krb5-libs-1.2.7-1.1mdk.i586> both DO provide <libcom_err.so.3>

Does that mean that people should also install 
<krb5-libs-1.2.7-10.i386.rpm>   ??

Thoughts?
