Put --nodeps behind the -e. That is where it belongs, and it will work. Yup, rpm needs the mode specified first. You're right. However, RPM version 3 accepted --nodeps before -e and RPM version 4 still accepts --test before -e. This behavior is inconsistent and confusing. A warning message from the option parser would be nice. |
