I have th exact same conflict with ppp and initscripts bumping heads. also a problem with xine-lib not installing.
initscripts-7.53-1 - installed
ppp-2.4.2-2 - installed
Being this was an update on a regular repo, it alarmed me. Running clamav (nothing found) and checkrootkit (11 hidden ps processes, possible LKM trojan) didn't add to the comfort level.
------------------- Checking `lkm'... You have 11 process hidden for readdir command You have 11 process hidden for ps command Warning: Possible LKM Trojan installed ----------------------- chkrootkit-0.43-2.1.fc2.dag was just installed and run.
The problem with initscripts and ppp is know. Check https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=127554 . It's been closed with "works for me" , so it still happens , we need to get it reopened...
I just got the ppp version from development and it installed fine. I use an ethernet connection and do not have a modem in use, anyway.
Thanks,
I'm not sure what to do with all of the duplicate bugs reported in the bugzilla database. Maybe instead of putting duplicate bugs within the database, some sort of merge feature to consolidate the reports into one item or a bug report which is threaded would be easier to trace down.
Having a field in bugzilla to do this would make the report easier to trace. I got lost as to which duplicate to follow, in order to get to the correct report.
The problem xine-lib probably is related to something else.. Which error do you get? Where you got the package?
I have xine-lib-1.0.0-0.lvn.0.26.rc4a.2 installed right now. I had no trouble getting xine-0.99.2-0.lvn.2.2 to install.
this is the up2date output.
There was a package dependency problem. The message was:
Unresolvable chain of dependencies: xine-lib 1.0.0-0.lvn.0.29.rc5.2 requires libtheora.so.0
Please modify your package selections and try again.
This is from the testing area on livna.
And about checkrootkit: It never gave good results on FC1 , so I never cared to run it on FC2. Try to use verbose mode to get the PID of the processes . Then , do a cat /proc/PID/status and see if it's a valid process . Most of the times , it's only a real program... (Most of the times , it was xmms here... also evolution , ypbind and a few other things...)
I closed down xmms and the count went down from 9 to 7. Also, the program seems to be from December 2003.
I only tried these programs because of having to remove two trojans on my wife's XP machine. Being we are fire walled from the outside and are the only machines on this network, I thought that I'd check the Linux side out from curiosity/paranoia.
What program would be a good alternative to chkrootkit for system integrity checks?
