I have some basic questions. Q: What is the best way to deal with this? I'm a bit short on common sense when it comes to using rpm to install Linux software. I'm worried that if I try to force something in, something else, somewhere else will break. Now I have some more specific questions. I see this: + rpm -Uvh control-center-2.8.0-12.rhel4.2.i386.rpm warning: control-center-2.8.0-12.rhel4.2.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 443e1821 error: Failed dependencies: gnome-icon-theme is needed by control-center-2.8.0-12.rhel4.2.i386 libeel-2.so.2 is needed by control-center-2.8.0-12.rhel4.2.i386 libgail-gnome is needed by control-center-2.8.0-12.rhel4.2.i386 libgailutil.so.17 is needed by control-center-2.8.0-12.rhel4.2.i386 libmetacity-private.so.0 is needed by control-center-2.8.0-12.rhel4.2.i386 libnautilus.so.2 is needed by control-center-2.8.0-12.rhel4.2.i386 libxklavier >= 1.02 is needed by control-center-2.8.0-12.rhel4.2.i386 libxklavier.so.8 is needed by control-center-2.8.0-12.rhel4.2.i386 xscreensaver is needed by control-center-2.8.0-12.rhel4.2.i386 I assume the proper way to deal with this is to search around on my DVD for 9 rpms which correspond to the 9 lines above spit out by the error handler. True??
If you have rpmdb-redhat package installed... you can use --aid to add suggested packages to the transaction Example: rpm -Uvh --aid control-center-2.8.0-12.rhel4.2.i386.rpm -- Alex Yokokura -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
