Environment

Novell Open Enterprise Server 11 (OES11) 
Novell Open Enterprise Server 11 SP1 (OES11SP1) 
Novell Open Enterprise Server 11 SP2 (OES11SP2) 
Domain Serivces for Windows

Situation

The library libpthread_ext.so comes from dceext package of glibc.
This is in glibc-dceext rpm, which is built along with glibc as a add-on.
This library is used and also packaged by the novell-xad-dcerpc.

SLES11SP1 onwards (OES11) this rpm stopped getting packaged. To achieve the dependency of the novell-xad-dcerpc, it was built with the glibc version available at that time and checked in to svn repository.

Resolution

The updated built version of libpthread_ext.so will be available, starting in the respective branches.

For OES11FP0, this is built against glibc-2.11.1-0.38.1 version.
For OES11SP1, this is build against glibc-2.11.3-17.45.45.1 version.
For OES11SP2, this is built against glibc-2.11.3-17.54.1 version.
