rpm issue
 

Hi,
I didn't use Linux for a while and forgot basic stuff.

I installed Fedora 2.
Need to install LDAP.
from console connected to rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/fedora/devel/i386/openldap-2.2.13-2.i386.html
with rpm -i
Received conflicts
[root@FC2 /]# rpm -i ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/....13-2.i386.rpm
file /etc/openldap/ldap.conf from install of openldap-2.2.13-2 conflicts with file from package openldap-2.1.29-1
file /usr/share/man/man5/ldap.conf.5.gz from install of openldap-2.2.13-2 conflicts with file from package openldap-2.1.29-1
file /usr/share/man/man5/ldif.5.gz from install of openldap-2.2.13-2 conflicts with file from package openldap-2.1.29-1

How to fight with the conflict?

I tried to uninstall previous version:
[root@FC2 /]# rpm -e openldap*
error: package openldap* is not installed
[root@FC2 /]#

What to do? :)

Thanks.
Michael.

hmm, just a guess, but maybe rpm -qa | grep ldap to see if it really isn't installed. If it's not, perhaps the database needs rebuilt.

This is output:
[root@FC2 /]# rpm -qa | grep ldap
openldap-2.1.29-1
nss_ldap-217-1

openldap-clients-2.1.29-1

php-ldap-4.3.8-2.1
[root@FC2 /]#

I really don't know what to do now...

Thanks.
Michael.

I tried to trick the system:

[root@FC2 /]# up2date openldap
up2date openldap

The following packages you requested are already updated:
openldap
[root@FC2 /]# rpm -q openldap
openldap-2.1.29-1
[root@FC2 /]#

It didn't find new version.
Sure, it goes to Fedora site and I downloades ISOs a week ago.

Other ideas?

Try just updating to openldap-2.2.13-2

Use the #rpm -Uvh openldap-2.2.13-2.i386.rpm
U - update
v-verbose

coudl try throwing an f in there to force it.

Its a no no, try installing without the force "f" option , as some of the software will stop working[broken dependencies].

Tried update:

Tried to find liblber.so.2
It showed me previous version of Ldap compat-openldap-2.1.30-2 RPM for i386

Tried to update to it
[root@FC2 root]# rpm -Uvh ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/c...enldap-2.1.30-
Retrieving ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/c...enldap-2.1.30-
error: skipping ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/c...enldap-2.1.30- - transfer failed - Unknown or unexpected error

That's it ! Cannot anymore :) It will never finish here

Will be faster to install new SUSE and to try to solve all dependencies from GUI.
I remember year ago it was very efficient. Their updater worked fine.

Thanks guys!
Michael.
