Description of problem: Avast! cannot be installed, because is missing libexpat.so.0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): avast! Linux Home Edition - avast4workstation-1.3.0-1.i586.rpm Steps to Reproduce: 1.# urpmi avast4workstation-1.3.0-1.i586.rpm libexpat.so.0 is missing 2.# urpmf libexpat.so.0 ... no libexpat.so.0 I found a package compat-expat1-1.95.8-8.i686.rpm in Fedora 17 repository, where is a file libexpat.so.0 included. After installing compat-expat1-1.95.8-8.i686.rpm I can install avast4workstation-1.3.0-1.i586.rpm and works.
For information, libexpat1-devel contains libexpat.so. Yes, it is not exactly libexpat.so.0 but it is probably the same file. Could you uninstall compat-expat1-1.95.8-8.i686.rpm and avast4workstation-1.3.0-1.i586.rpm and do a symbolic link like that ln -s /usr/lib/libexpat.so /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 After that, try to reinstall avast4workstation-1.3.0-1.i586.rpm

Thank you for information. But after uninstalling compat-expat1-1.95.8-8.i686.rpm and avast4workstation-1.3.0-1.i586.rpm, then was symbolic link created by ln -s /usr/lib/libexpat.so /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 I cannot install avast4workstation-1.3.0-1.i586.rpm. Same situation like before. I saw symbolic link is redirected to /usr/lib/libexpat.so and this file is redirected to libexpat.so.1.5.2 . So I tried to change link to this file, could not install. If I install a package compat-expat1-1.95.8-8.i686.rpm, then libexpat.so.0.5.0 and symbolic link libexpat.so.0 are created and works for next installing.
Severity: normal => enhancement
We have libexpat1 in Mageia, see e.g. in Cauldron: [akien@cauldron ~]$ urpmf /usr/lib64/libexpat.so. lib64expat1:/usr/lib64/libexpat.so.1 lib64expat1:/usr/lib64/libexpat.so.1.6.0 So as far as I understand, it is Avast's RPM which is outdated. You should try to workaround the issue, or contact Avast so that they update their RPM.
