I've built an embedded system (based on MontaVista (based on RedHat)). The software as delivered by MontaVista includes RPM binaries, but not a populated RPM database. Now I need to use RPM (for a variety of other reasons). I've built my first RPM (on SCO OpenServer, don't ask why... because I have too.) And when I try to install it, RPM on the target system says: error: failed dependencies: /bin/bash is needed by acncfg-HANSON1_1001-1 Since bash wasn't installed via RPM, how can I convince RPM that bash exists. Yes, I know I can install with nodep, but that 'kinda' defeats one of the features of RPM. So the question is: 1/ How can I manually populate bash into the database? BTW: 2/ I also don't even know why my RPM is dependent on bash. I didn't make the dependency. Is it built into RPM itself? _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
