RPM giving incorect dependency info ?
Hi, im trying to install a program (rpm)
but if fails on a dependency, but rpm -q says the dependency is present.... this is confusing. here is the output which i think makes no snece, am i missing somthing ? [root@localhost downloads]# rpm -ivh gtkam-20011114-fr1.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: gphoto >= 2.0beta3 is needed by gtkam-20011114-fr1 [root@localhost downloads]# rpm -qa | grep gphoto gphoto2-2.1.0-7 as you can see, i have gphoto 2.1... which is greater than the needed 2.0 beta is it not ? |
Yep.
It's greater. But not equal. And that's one of the beauties of RPM ;) And you're right. It makes no sense. Cheers, Tink |
But this symbol means Greater OR equal to doesnt it ?
every other program ive installed has allowed this type of version difference. so i need to go back a few versions then, that sucks :( |
I've had issues with ssl versions in rpm.
However, in your case the problem might be that you need gphoto, not gphoto2 ;) Cheers, Tink |
i thought that, but the rpm description on rpmfind.net says it is a gui for gphoto2.
plus thying to install ghphoto gave a million and one conflictions. |
Well, you can spin the prayer wheel try:
rpm -ivh --nodeps gtkam-20011114-fr1.i386.rpm |
That version of gtkam is very old, you need one that depends on gphoto2
|
the one i have does dep on gphoto 2.
|
well, i got the thing working anyway, just went back the the older version (that came with redhat 9)
