I have the same problem. I have installed the last pam package for update my system for fix the security problem with samba. Actually I can't remove the pam package (pam-0.75-46.8.0.src.rpm) that I have installed. Do you know how I could do this? I have a similar problem with RH 9. I did a selective installation and later needed the gcc compiler. I tried to use the Package Management utility provided with RedHat on the Gnome desktop to add the development packages and it gave me an error 'unlocatable packages'. I queried the packages listed by the package management app and they were already installed. The packages that I had installed were newer than the ones requested. I noticed that the up2date application updated the files earlier to a newer version. From what I have seen it appears that the Package Management app is useless once the up2date app has updated files that are required by the packages on the CD. I suggest that either the packages support newer dependices or that the Package Management app supply a --nodependency function to force an installation. This has nothing to do with pam. |
