Hi,

Sometime back, about a year and a half ago, I was able to find the  
Apache2 RPMs for version 2.2.14 and upgrade Apache on my SLES 10 system.  
Well, actually it’s a product we sell that runs on SLES 10 that has both  
user and kernel code, so upgrading isn’t “simple”…

Now, due to security issues found at a customer site, I was hoping to  
do that again. But the only RPMs I’ve been able to find so far are for  
Apache2 2.2.21 which has additional requirements and won’t install  
without upgrading lots of stuff. Does anyone know where I can find RPMs  
for the versions between 2.2.14 and 2.2.21? I’d like to get as far as I  
can (the actual security hole I must cover was fixed in Apache 2.2.15)  
without having to upgrade SLES.

And, yes, I know that Apache security is a moving target, and that  
upgrading to anything less than the current version will mean having to  
do this again at some point, but I was hoping to avoid an OS upgrade at  
this time. We will have to consider upgrading to SLES 11, etc., but I  
was hoping to hold off on that for a while…

Thanks,

Rob

Hi Malcolm,

Oddly, when I looked a couple of weeks ago I found different versions,  
so I went ahead and downloaded the ones I found today. But I still end  
up with the same problem. If I try to upgrade Apache I need libapr,  
which requires GLIBC 2.10 and trying to upgrade that fails because of  
missed dependencies (primarily /sbin/ldconfig and libcrypt). In  
addition, the currently installed versions of the missing dependencies  
are listed as needed by a whole bunch of installed RPMs…

Is there anybody else that’s running SLES 10 SP3? And, if so, are you  
running Apache? And which version of Apache are you running?

Thanks,

Rob
