rpm dependencies question

I'm trying to install tomcat6 on a RHEL5 machine (which I've done before, dunno why it seems like more of a headache this time!)

Quote:

[root@web tmp]# rpm -ivh tomcat6-*.rpm
warning: tomcat6-6.0.18-9.2.fc11.noarch.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID d22e77f2
error: Failed dependencies:
rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 is needed by tomcat6-6.0.18-9.2.fc11.noarch
rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 is needed by tomcat6-jsp-2.1-api-6.0.18-9.2.fc11.noarch
/usr/share/java/ecj.jar is needed by tomcat6-lib-6.0.18-9.2.fc11.noarch

rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 is needed by tomcat6-servlet-2.5-api-6.0.18-9.2.fc11.noarch

But...

[root@ucore-web tmp]# ls -l /usr/share/java/ecj.jar
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 68 Jul 23 10:25 /usr/share/java/ecj.jar -> /usr/share/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.2.1.v_677_R32x.jar

Googling tells me that rpmlib(FileDigests) is part of rpm-devel, which is installed.

Sooo... short of getting a bigger hammer with --force or --nodeps... how should this be fixed?

Have you tried the "localinstall" option with yum?

Worth a shot...

Code:

root@host# yum localinstall /path/to/tomcat6-*.rpm

-C

It looks like you are running into the differences between RHEL5(essentially FC6) and F11. The standard rpmlib version on RHEL5 is 4.4.2.3 but the rpm you are installing requires <= 4.6.0-1 .
