sadly, yes, most of them. gssapi probably would have been fine if anybody
was motivated, but the rest have various issues as I recall, openssl being
the most egregious offender at not keeping a 100% stable api (note 0.9.8e
is a number of releases old, showing how hard it is to keep up that they
needed to specify that precisely)
-
e2fsprogs-libs 1.39, Ext2/3 file system-specific static libraries and
headers (provides /lib/libuuid.so.1)
-
Krb5-libs 1.6.1 (Kerberos shared libraries)
-
Generic Security Services Application Programming Interface (GSS-API)
-
OpenSSL (openssl-0.9.8e)
