Ok, I assumed it was some kind of plugin like postfix-mysql which gets loaded as shared library from /usr/lib/postfix/. If that *would* have been the case then it *could* have been that /usr/sbin/postfix links against libmysqlclient12.so and /usr/lib/postfix/gld.so links against libmysqlclient14.so. Symbols from both libraries would then be combined. As both libraries provide e.g. mysql_connect() ld.so would have trouble to decide which one is the right which results in segfaults. This is normally avoided by "versioning" which means that the library provides something like "mysql_connect__XGF24FGSGH" and the compiler is clever enough to translate the mysql_connect in the source code to this unique name which the library offers. If your package contains a standalone daemon, you could probably link against whatever version you want... or just wait a little bit :) (old_passwords=1 in the mysql config is the Debian default btw so you could just use that) bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
