New server migration

[Brian White]

See that "flt" in the filename of that rpm?

Fairlite made it. It turned out that basically the official package is
assembled wrong and includes a junk file in place of a library. It happened
sometime after Centos 6, Centos 6.x versions of the same package are fine.

He figured out whatever they did wrong and compiled a new rpm that includes
the actual library.

I don't know if upstream has incorporated the fix yet but I think he did
submit a bug report and patch, so it's possible there is a more official
package that works by now. It's been a year or more.
