           Summary: RH9 RPMs incompatible with RH9 -- total showstopper
           Product: Wine
           Version: 20041201
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-rh
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P1
         Component: wine-binary
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org
        ReportedBy: 2blkbelt(a)nemontel.net


RH9 out-of-box system, "everything" installed.

Installation of wine-20041201-1rh9winehq.i686.rpm goes fine with "rpm -Uvh"

Typing "wine[enter]", however, generates an error message as follows...

/usr/bin/wineserver: relocation error: /usr/bin/wineserver: symbol epoll_create,
version GLIBC_(a).3.2 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

...the problem here is that the "RH9" version requires components that are not
part of, or native to, RH9. We're not talking about a trivial just "go and get
the stuff" thing, either; installing a different version of glibc is highly
problematic, according to the glibc website. Move this, rename that, this won't
work, that won't work, the usual litany of "we didn't think upgrades through, so
you're screwed, have a nice day." So very few people are going to be able to
pull this off (install the new glibc, I mean.)

If I were you people, I'd take that RPM down until I could come up with one that
installs into a freshly installed RH9 system with no mods, using the RH9-shipped
glibc. You have GOT to pay more attention to the environment!
