Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 8388
Dependency errors
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:37:53 EDT
I had 6.0 loaded then purchased and loaded the 6.1 upgrage. I have been trying to load games from the power tools CD I received with 6.0. I get many dependency errors, so I tried to load the libraries seperately. I also get a lot of dependency errors loading the libraries. I am running Gnome and then GnoRPM from the system startup menu. Will I be able to load the applications on the power tools CD or will I have to wait until the next release of Redhat Linux? Thank You, Joseph Kubany. jkubany@voicenet.com.
Use the commandline instead of GnoRPM to install the packages. I noticed that GnoRPM gives a lot of errors when it shouldn't since the commandline arguments work fine ie. "rpm -Uvh <packagename>.rpm" Tim
This is not a bug with any packages in Powertools, it's a GnoRPM problem. I am resolving this to not a bug.
Tim: Is there a way to install all of the packages under a component? e.g. games. Also, how would the XFrisk-(version 1.00,274k) be loaded? what is the actual package name? page 42 power tools package list. Thank You, Joe
Unfortunately you can't install packages by their groups. As far as the package names, change directory into where the packages are located and let's say that you want the true package name for XFrisk, do this while in the package directory: ls XFrisk* This will display the full name of the package.
