These four packages in ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2 have the rpmlib dependancy: rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 which, I think, is wrong. rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 --> php-imap-3.0.17-1.6.2.i386.rpm rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 --> php-ldap-3.0.17-1.6.2.i386.rpm rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 --> php-manual-3.0.17-1.6.2.i386.rpm rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 --> php-pgsql-3.0.17-1.6.2.i386.rpm This causes dependancy problems when installing redhat from a cdrom with all the updates merged in. The installation program says the four packages haven't been selected when doing dependancy checking, even on a full installation.
It's correct. That dependency is satisfied by the errata rpm RPM.
Why do those four packages require RPMLIB VERSION 3.03 OR EARLIER? Also, as I remember, the stock redhat 6.2 ships with rpm 3.04, which obviously doesn't satisfy the php packages' dependacies. Well, it doesn't matter much. But it makes makes the installation from an updated redhat CD a little bit ugly.
The updated package of RPM 3.0.5 itself is also available in the same directory . The specific way RPM prints out the dependency syntax (the "<=" isn't stored in the database, it's a bitfield with one bit for "<" and one bit for "=") is more than I know about RPM's internals, though. Please check the errata notice at http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHEA-2000-051-01.html for more details.
It looks that the problem is caused by the installer not being able to recognize the rpmlib dependancies. If the new updates require rpmlib dependancy, why don't you upgrade the installers too? It's a compatibility issue.
