No not from `source' but as I said from `*.src.rpm.'
Eh? Could you explain that subtle difference?
My response wasn't supposed to be weird or a wise crack or etc. When you said `>> > Are you sure that you build that from sources?'
I thought you must be asking if I had built it like ./configure make make install
So if a driver script in a form of a spec file does that, or something similar, for you (among various other things, of course) this is an earth shattering difference? Well ..., ok.
If you would do 'rpmbuild -ta some_source.tar.gz' would be that compiling from sources or not? Yes, you can do that if tar.gz archive has inside a correct spec file.
The real question was were you linking, directly or indirectly, with libc5 libraries. It looks from your description that this did not happen.
rpm -Uvh bacula-client-1.34.6-1.i38 6.rpm error: Failed dependencies: bacula-client conflicts with bacula-mysql-1.34.6-1
Well, apparently you can have one or another. Quite possibly they do the same thing by slightly different means. There are probably some docs which come with all that stuff. But if its spec file still references libc5 that would indicate that this project was abandoned many years ago (which does not mean that the program is necessarily not working).
