Dependency problem - I have the packages, but they're too new!


Having got used to Linux I've decided to get adventurous and try to recompile the kernel.
Problem is I didn't install the development tools when I originally installed RH9.

When I tried to install the development tools with the package manager it tells me I need krb5-libs = 1.2.7-14 and openssl = 0.9.7a-5.

But I've run up2date and updated a whole lot of stuff, so I actually have newer versions installed.

How do I get the package manager to realise this, or at least, ignore it, and install the packages anyway?

Thanks

Up2date will only update packages that are allready installed.

To make sure you have the packages installed do the following from the konsole (or Gnome terminal):

rpm -qa | grep openssl
rpm -qa | grep krb5

If it returns a prompt with no package listing you need to install the packages from the RH CD. Otherwise it will list the installed rpm's and the version#

OK, let's try that again. I seem to have explained badly.

Running redhat-config-packages I try to install the development packages. it tells me that I need:

krb5-libs-1.2.7-10
openssl-0.9.7a-2

I already have newer versions, namely

krb5-libs-1.2.7-14
openssl-0.9.7a-5

installed.

How do I get redhat-config-packages to install with no deps, or how do I downgrade the packages so that it will stop complaining?

Or, is there some other solution?

One way would be to uninstall krb5-libs-1.2.7-14 and openssl-0.9.7a-5 completely. Then try to install the development packages and meet the dependency requirement for the two packages with he original versions from the CD.

Ok. Here is the list of dependencies. Would you be brave enough to put the --nodeps argument at the end of that command? I'm not.

There must be another way.

He He He...

Why Not?

Well, if you downgrade the 2 packages, you'll get the same dependency errors as removing them(I believe). Is it a specifc developement rpm you are trying to install or are you installing an entire package group? What specificly are you trying to install and why?

Also, have you tried installing the older versions of the two packages (krb5-libs-1.2.7-14 and openssl-0.9.7a-5) in parallel with the newer versions or does this give you errors as well (i.e version blah obsoletes version blah blah)

OK.
All fixed now.
I forced an install of the older versions with the aptly named "--force" argument, and voila! No more dependency problems (sighs of relief that everything didn't shudder to a dead halt).

No doubt I will proceed to do some serious damage once I recompile the kernel, but I think I'll fiddle with some lesser source code first.

Thanks for your help

if you were doing that with an rpm

rpm -i --replacepkgs --oldpackages < filename >.rpm

would have done it too
