I notice that my version of Apache is out of date. As a relatively
experienced user who wants to open up the firewall to the server, I don't
need it to be compromised.

I currently have version 2.0.52 installed but version 2.0.53 is available.
As there are some security fixes in the latter version I'd like to install
it.

I've tried yum and got the following :

[root@fc3 Apache]# yum update httpd

No package for me there then !

I also managed to get hold of an RPM but there are extra dependencies :

[root@fc3 Apache]# rpm -i httpd-2.0.53-5.i386.rpm
warning: httpd-2.0.53-5.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 30c9ecf8
error: Failed dependencies:
        libcrypto.so.5 is needed by httpd-2.0.53-5.i386
        libdb-4.3.so is needed by httpd-2.0.53-5.i386
        libssl.so.5 is needed by httpd-2.0.53-5.i386
[root@fc3 Apache]#
[

I looked for the RPMs for those files but there only seems to be source
files.

I don't have all the dev stuff loaded just now and there's bound to be an
issue if I start adding that as well !

Is there an _easy_ way for me to get this software update ?

Thanks
