I downloaded the rpm for apt from freshrpms.net but when I installed it I got the friendly message saying that I am missing librpm-4.3.so, librpmdb-4.3.so, and librpmio-4.3.so so I searched google and got the rpms for those but when I tryed to install them it said that I already hade a newer version of it installed! How can that be? It says I am missing them when I install apt but it says I cant install them because i already have a newer version!
If you are absolutely positive you have the packages then you can use the --force switch to force an rpm to install without checking for missing packages. So the command would be rpm -ihv --force apt-0.5.15cnc6-1.1.fc3.fr.i386.rpm
***PLEASE NOTE****
This can be dangerous and should be done at your own risk. If there is some sort of corruption in your rpm database or something bad like that, then this could bork things up even more. That being said I do it sometimes and have never had any trouble. But you never know.
It looks like you need to find the '-devel' packages for most of these items. Some of these, I would expect you to have anyway. libelf, for example, comes with a package called elfutils-libelf. I was under the impression that this package is required.
Maybe the easiest would be to use LOCATE, to see if these files are already installed.
...]$ locate libelf.so.1
/usr/lib/libelf.so.1
If you are sure they are all installed, go ahead and force the RPM installation.
