Support tools and extra libraries

[Graham Leggett <mi...@sharp.fm>]

Hi all,

Looking at the libraries that are brought in by some of the support tools, we seem to be linking to more libraries than strictly necessary.

Can anyone confirm whether we need to be binding htpasswd to libdb, or libexpat? (Or am I not reading this correctly?) Is this something apr/apr-util is doing?

[root@samantha ~]# ldd /usr/sbin/htpasswd 
	linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0x00f97000)
	libaprutil-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libaprutil-1.so.0 (0x00a73000)
	libuuid.so.1 => /lib/libuuid.so.1 (0x005c7000)
	libdb-4.8.so => /lib/libdb-4.8.so (0x00110000)
	libexpat.so.1 => /lib/libexpat.so.1 (0x0029a000)
	libapr-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libapr-1.so.0 (0x00500000)
	libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00edf000)
	libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x002c2000)
	libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x00ab4000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x002c7000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x0055c000)
	libfreebl3.so => /lib/libfreebl3.so (0x00472000)

Regards,
Graham
