Hello, I just joined this mailing list, hopefully someone knows whats wrong: I just upgraded to kernel 1.3.95 from 1.3.72, with a system that was initially slackware 2.something, but now supports compiling in ELF, along with other things... However, after installing 1.3.95 these flock warnings started sprouting up on the console coming from all sorts of different processes... so thanks to the suggestion of people on #linux of irc, I installed libc-5.3.12 and libc-4.7.5 by untarring it into the root directory. That didnt stop any of the flock warnings, so I took another person's suggestion and did ldconfig -v and then recompiled the kernel... There are still as many flock warnings as before. Does anyone know of someone who has managed to get rid of the flock warnings and how they did it? (hopefully it didnt take commenting out the warning in the kernel) Also, what is flock warning about? Is there a real danger that should be worried about?
Thanks for your help, omnilord@igc.net http://www.igc.net/~omnilord/
PS I looked in the man page and asked on the #linux channel of irc... but there doesnt seem to be an option that makes tar overwrite symlinks.. it seems like an option that people would want.. I wonder if Im just overlooking something.. (however, I did go through all the files that were reported by tar and symlinked them correctly)
