this is fixed in a later rawhide-release package. :) OK, I figured part of the problem out, it seems that linuxconf has to
be installed WITH rawhide-release (as in at the same time, after is a
no go) for it to install properly. Here is what I did earlier:
[root(3)@ironclad RPMs]# rpm -Uhv rawhide-release-1.3.5-1.noarch.rpm
rawhide-release
##################################################
[root(3)@ironclad RPMs]# rpm -Uhv linuxconf*-1.14r4-4.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
redhat-release is needed by linuxconf-1.14r4-4
[root(3)@ironclad RPMs]# rpm -q --whatprovides redhat-release
rawhide-release-1.3.5-1
[root(3)@ironclad RPMs]# rpm -e rawhide-release
[root(3)@ironclad RPMs]# inst linuxconf*-1.14r4-4.i386.rpm rawhide-
release-1.3.5-1.noarch.rpm
rawhide-release

OUCH, and get THIS: [root(4)@ironclad /etc]# rpm -V linuxconf Unsatisfied dependencies for linuxconf-1.14r4-4: redhat-release .M...... c /etc/conf.linuxconf <took really long time and cancelled at this point> assigned to notting. rawhide-reklese should obsolete and provide redhat-release (based on versions numbers...) you can't do that with the current version of RPM; you can only provide 'redhat-release', not 'redhat-release = some-version'. *** Bug 3878 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** error: failed dependencies: redhat-release is needed by linuxconf-1.14r4-4 rawhide-release-1.4.2-1.noarch.rpm linuxconf-1.14r4-4.i386.rpm Actually, it seems to be an RPM problem. linuxconf *prerequires* redhat-release (no version). rawhide-release provides redhat-release, but this isn't satisfying the dependency. Jeff, any ideas? The linuxconf prereq prevented the dependency from being resolved by the provides in rawhide-release. rpm-3.0.3-0.7 with versioned provides support should fix this problem. |
root(2)@ironclad Raw]# rpm -Uhv linuxconf-*1.14r4-3.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: redhat-release is needed by linuxconf-1.14r4-3 redhat-release isn't on the rawhide server. I remember a couple weeks ago when I first installed rawhide the installation had failed on redhat-release since the file wasn't there, but I had assumed that was because this was rawhide, and the redhat-release was left in the packages to install list by accident (not a worry to me since I saw rawhide-release be installed).
