Add --nodeps if you wish. Otherwise, this is a packaging, not an rpm, problem. The dependencies are checked as specified in the packages by rpm. |
Description of problem: I have multiple versions of a package installed - two kernels. Trying to uninstall one of them using "rpm -e", rpm refuses to do so because of dependencies of the _other_ package of the same name. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.3.1-0.3 How reproducible: sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -q kernel-smp 2. rpm -e kernel-smp-2.6.5-1.326 3. Actual results: 1. kernel-smp-2.4.22-1.2149.nptl kernel-smp-2.6.5-1.326 2. error: Failed dependencies: kernel = 2.4.22-1.2149-1sunshine.nptlsmp is needed by (installed) eagle-usb-de-modules-2.4.22_1.2149_1sunshine.nptlsmp-0. 6pre5-0.9sunshine kernel = 2.4.22-1.2149-1sunshine.nptlsmp is needed by (installed) alsa-driver-modules_2.4.22_1.2149_1sunshine.nptlsmp-1.0. 2a-0.2sunshine kernel = 2.6.5-1.319smp is needed by (installed) eagle-usb-de-modules-2.6.5_1.319smp-0.6pre5-0.10sunshine kernel >= 2.6.4-1.300 is needed by (installed) policy-1.11. 2-21 kernel >= 2.6.4-1.300 is needed by (installed) policy-sources-1.11.2-21 Expected results: rpm uninstalls kernel-smp-2.6.5-1.326, not worrying about other installed versions of kernel-smp Additional info: "--nodeps" is the workaround, for those who wouldn't have guessed so. ;-)
