I have a workstation with the following HP-provided RPMs: net-snmp-cmaX-5.1 (provides net-snmp as well) net-snmp-cmaX-devel-5.1 net-snmp-cmaX-utils-5.1 I have an RPM foo that obsoletes net-snmp <= 5.0.9 (the stock RHEL 3 version). For some reason, when I run "yum install foo", I get the following dependency errors: --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: libnetsnmp.so.5 for package: ethereal --> Processing Dependency: net-snmp >= 5.0 for package: ethereal --> Processing Dependency: libsnmp.so.5 for package: hpoj --> Processing Dependency: libnetsnmp.so.5 for package: ethereal-gnome --> Processing Dependency: net-snmp for package: hpoj --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: libnetsnmp.so.5 is needed by package ethereal Error: Missing Dependency: net-snmp >= 5.0 is needed by package ethereal Error: Missing Dependency: libsnmp.so.5 is needed by package hpoj Error: Missing Dependency: libnetsnmp.so.5 is needed by package ethereal-gnome Error: Missing Dependency: net-snmp is needed by package hpoj net-snmp-cmaX is installed and provides all 5 of the above dependencies. Also, my obsoletes specifically mentions net-snmp <= 5.0.9. Why is it trying to remove net-snmp-cmaX-5.1? Thanks. /Brian/ -- Brian Long | | | IT Data Center Systems | .|||. .|||.
