Ok... everything is repaired.... <br>I managed to resinstall a complete fresh versions of 4.2.2 rpms with the binary I haved in my backup...<br><br>Of course you're right Gustavo... I shouldn't have accepted the rpm downgrade and I could just kick myself for that. I just have overlooked, as I thought it was a minor downgraded (which is stupid I must admit)....
<br><br>I'd paid more attention next time...<br><br>Anyway, thank you for your responses and help.<br><br>PS. I've looked at prerequists of installe dtrac package, but it only gives :<br> Requires:<br> /usr/bin/python<br>
python >= 2.1<br> python-clearsilver >= 0.9.3<br> python-sqlite >= 0.4.3<br> subversion >= 1.0.0<br> webserver<br>I really don't know where the RPM dependencies comes from...<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">
