Description of problem: # rpm -Uvh iptables-1.2.8-8.80.2.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: stat is needed by iptables-1.2.8-8.80.2 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Upgrade all errata, including kernel-2.4.20-20.8. Then try to upgrade iptables. Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -Uvh {all errata except iptables}*.rpm 2. rpm -Uvh iptables-1.2.8-8.80.2 Actual results: error: Failed dependencies: stat is needed by iptables-1.2.8-8.80.2 Expected results: The upgrade should work, or the errata should mention what I need to do to fix this dependency. Additional info: The psyche mailing list mentions this issue. A user says that stat is in a package called coreutils, but as far as I can tell, this package is not a standard part of Red Hat. I can't find it on Red Hat's FTP site, either under the standard 8.0 distribution or under the updates tree.
stat is in the standard 8.0 tree: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/8.0/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/stat-3.3-4.i386.rpm
