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
