This is a X11/ X.org problem. How can I force a rpm to install when it thinks it needs XFree86 when in fact its all covered by X.org.

What I want to do is install a utility known as mjpegtools-1.6.2.-1.i386.rpm simply because I want to use one command line program in it that converts YUV files to MPEG. I tried the rpm but it claims to require (among other things) XFree86.

Now I am using Fedora Core 2 which uses X.org thus rendering XFree86 obsolete. So I get the dependency error:

$ rpm -iv mjpegtools-1.6.2-1.i386.rpm
/etc/security/selinux/file_contexts: No such file or directory
error: Failed dependencies:
XFree86 is needed by mjpegtools-1.6.2-1
libdv.so.2 is needed by mjpegtools-1.6.2-1

I try installing XFree86 and its dependent rpms and get about 10 trillion conflict errors with X.org .

Any ideas how to solve this one?

Can I force mjpeg tools to install without requiring XFree86. rpm -iv -Force doesn't seem to do it.

rpm -ivh --nodeps --force mjpegtools-1.6.2-1.i386.rpm

Thanks that seems to work.
