Rpm Dependencies problem

djpacman · 05-16-2006, 03:01 PM

I'm sure this has probably been beat to death on here, but I can't find it. I'm trying to install xine on suse because i want to be able to use the multimedia functions of this machine. However I have downloaded all the packages that it keeps asking for but it eithier can't find them or they all need to be loaded at the same time or something

. Everytime I start the install it goes to resolve depencies and then fails with a message saying could not find a package that i have downloaded to the computer. Can anyone help:-D

If you need to install multiple rpms, you can do the following

Code:

#rpm -Uvh first.rpm second.rpm etc

or simply

Code:

#rpm -Uvh *.rpm

The command above will install all rpms in your current directory. You can also configure the packman repo and install the packages with YAST.

does it matter which order i install them in? or just make sure i install them all?

Ok, here is how things work. If you use the first command above, you can enter rpm packages in any order and rpm automatically figures out what to install first. The second command installs every rpm in a directory so you shouldn't worry about order since rpm will sort that out on its own.
