I have a user running Red Hat ES3 U5 and when he tried to run "yum
install iptraf" (using version yum 2.0.8) it tried to install and
update additional FIFTY+ packages siting dependency issues.
It didn't seem right so we tried just manually installing the iptraf
RPM (rpm -Uvh) and it installed fine without any dependency issues.
Again, this is a RedHat ES3 machine installing from a CentOS3-i386
RPMforge repository, using the old yum-arch (headers.info) format for
metafiles.
Has anyone experienced this? And know why this is happening? Tried
running 'yum install iptraf' on RedHat ES4 machines and it worked fine
without asking me to install additional 50+ packages...
can you show the depsolving output?
