[I don't cover package tools like Yum or APT-RPM here.] First of all, install the "rpmdb-redhat" package which contains a complete RPM database of what is shipped with Red Hat Linux. When that package is installed, rpm tells you the names of any packages you're missing upon installation of a new package, provided that the package is on your install CDs. Additionally, you can add option --aid which would try to add any missing package automatically in order to solve dependencies. It requires that you keep all rpms in current directory, though. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/kDov0iMVcrivHFQRAtWkAJ9g6//H6o8Pv0+BDEFZ9Lq2goPjoACfTnwV fR+Iw7s9/a1PakNXSs5YPjU= =kVDO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
