apt4rpm
 

ok im trying to install apt4rpm. first it needed:

error: Failed dependencies:
apt-server is needed by apt4rpm-0.65.1-0
perl-XML-LibXML is needed by apt4rpm-0.65.1-0


so i got them, then:

[root@localhost apt]# rpm -Uvh perl-XML-LibXML-1.55-0.dag.rh90.noarch.rpm
warning: perl-XML-LibXML-1.55-0.dag.rh90.noarch.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, ke

rh90
perl(XML::SAX::Exception) is needed by perl-XML-LibXML-1.55-0.dag.rh90


got these, then installed these one by one, then:

[root@localhost apt]# rpm -Uvh perl-XML-SAX-Base-1.04-0.dag.rh90.noarch.rpm

some kind of conflict between files i guess, so i see what happens here:

[root@localhost apt]# rpm -Uvh apt4rpm-0.65.1-0.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
apt-server is needed by apt4rpm-0.65.1-0
perl-XML-LibXML is needed by apt4rpm-0.65.1-0

so, as you can see everything installed fine but the perl(XML::SAX::DocumentLocator) because of some kind of conflict. does anyone have a solution for this? come on please.

(edit: should read perl(XML::SAX::DocumentLocator with no smiley faces)

hi

i never knew there was so many dependency issues with apt4rpm. i just download the packages from apt.freshrpms.net and installed them. anyway you dont need to install perl modules one by one

perl -MCPAN -e shell will configure CPAN for you. inside the cpan shell.

cpan> install modulename

will download, configure, compile and install all the required perl modules for you.

just try running apt-get update after force installing the rpm.

I faced the same problems during my attempt and more follows.

error: Failed dependencies:
perl(XML::SAX::DocumentLocator) is needed by perl-XML-LibXML-1.56-0.rh90.dag

However, as I followed the instructions:

cpan> install XML::SAX::DocumentLocator
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata
Database was generated on Thu, 12 Feb 2004 21:49:16 GMT
XML::SAX::DocumentLocator is up to date.

Now what is this ?

thanks
