A package with version number doesnt look that meaningless to me. What would you suggest as a alternative? If you want to install the whole bunch of Java apps you can use yum # yum groupinstall "Java Development" I don't get a reference to a package and version number. I just get "jta" I don't wish to use yum. I want to be able to use just rpm. If yum can resolve "jta" to a package with just rpm queries, how does it do it? Already fixed in current releases. Closing. |
Description of problem: Trying to install tomcat5 I get: error: Failed dependencies: jta is needed by tomcat5-5.0.30-8jpp_6fc.i386 I eventually tracked this down by looking at a system that has everything blindly installed. It is provided by: geronimo-specs-compat-1.0-0.M2.2jpp_4fc.2 Why doesn't tomcat5 refer to a meaningful package name? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): geronimo-specs-compat-1.0-0.M2.2jpp_4fc.2 tomcat5-5.0.30-8jpp_6fc.i386 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -Uvh tomcat5-5.0.30-8jpp_6fc.i386.rpm 2. 3. Actual results: error: Failed dependencies: jta is needed by tomcat5-5.0.30-8jpp_6fc.i386 Expected results: error: Failed dependencies: geronimo-specs-compat is needed by tomcat5-5.0.30-8jpp_6fc.i386 Additional info:
