What happens if you do a rpm --rebuilddb? Do the missing dependencies reappear? If I do rpm --rebuilddb, the effect is the same. The dependencies really *are* missing, but I do not care. I want RPM to do the installation anyway. RPM 4.0.2 on Red Hat 6.2 works; RPM 4.0.3 on Red Hat 7.2 appears to ignore the --nodeps option. Hmmm, --nodeps "works" in rpm-4.0.3 with --root, I use it hourly. Try putting --nodeps immediately after -Uvh, rpm options now require that the mode be the 1st option in order to support multimode CLI options in the future. That fixed it. Putting "-Uvh" first makes it work. Thanks. OK. Hmm, I was just bittne by this as well (I don't have a redhat kernel, since they still dont ship with freeswan) and therefor I'm lacking the kernel dependancy, so i had to force iptables to install. Why is this bug closed? It seems that the order of options of rpm really shouldn't matter, and this is a bug that should be fixed. The order of options is going to matter a great deal when I finish doing multi-mode options like rpm -Uvh ... -qa ... -Va ... -e ... I gotta start someplace ... |
