Package requires earlier version of an installed package
 

Trying to yum install http://sourceforge.net/projects/spee...6.1.x86_64.rpm, but it complained that it needed libqt4 < 4.7.0. Tried using --skip-broken, but of course that didn't work.

Any solution, short of installing from source? I don't really want to do that if I can help it.

Happy New Year,
Doug

Hi,

Try this
rpm -ivh --test --force --aid --nodeps http://sourgeforge.net/...rpm
then, if you are ok with it
rpm -ivh --force --aid --nodeps http://sourgeforge.net/...rpm

Tshimanga.

The package works OK on Fedora 14 ( tested so far with i386.)

This will do : # rpm -Uvh --nodeps simon-0.3.0-56.1.<arch>.rpm


..

Thank you, Tshimanga. I was a bit nervous of using --force, until I knew a bit more about the problemOf course! (slaps forehead). I had to install portaudio as a dependency first, then ran rpm with --nodeps and it installed fine.

Thank you both for taking the time to reply. Happy New Year.

Cheers,
Doug
