Originally posted by palletooru how can one install a package with all dependencies?
Thats exactly what yum does, it will install all the dependencies for a package when you yum install it, given that they are available in the package repositories in your /etc/yum.conf and /etc/yum.conf.d/

I had the same problem while trying to add packages with system-config-packages
It would not let me add packages ("packaged could not be located"). To proceed, I first removed the packages that caused the error, e.g.,
rpm -e --nodeps libxslt
After removing the packages, I could successfully add the desired packages, and (because of luck?) 3 out of 5 packages I had removed were installed again when the dependencies were solved. The remaining 2 I installed again manually, and ran
yum update to make sure everything was up to date.
After that, system-config-packages ran without an error message

This one does not seem to need other packages, otherwise rpm would give error messages, wouldn't it? It is itself needed for xorg-x11 and xorg-x11-xfs, as the wizard for adding and removing software says. I have the xorg-x11-libs downloaded already.
Anyway, the contradictory answers to rpm commands speak for themselves. And yum install or yum update does not help either, so the problem is not that my downloaded version of the package is corrupted somehow.
i had the same problem and did a rpm -e -nodeps libselinux....
it seems that this destroyed completely rpm....
i can't run system-config-packages or yum...
i get a:
libselinux.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Things are worse. Now i'm not able to logon. The session closes at once with the same xsession error...
Is there anyone who could tell me how to extract the files in the .rpm in order to put libselinux.so.1 back in /usr/lib?
Or maybe send me this file by email...
I'll use a live cd probably to access the filesystem and put it back, but i need to find the file first...
Thanx in advance
Were you able to resolve your issue? As luck would have it I am experiancing the same issue as you with one addition (PAM). Libselinex, libxml2 and pam are all installed on my system (FC3). When I go to "Add/Remove Packages" and try to install ANY additional packages I get the error that these three packages cannot be found.
I have run up2date and updated my system. I have also run "yum update". I have also run "yum install package" for these three packages. to which I get the response "nothing to do" (assuming that Yum has identified that these packages are already installed)
