I have downloaded XFree86 and installed it, all works fine.
But my application have a prereq that says "XFree86-Xvfb" have to be installed. The installation from XFree86.org is not a .rpm package (XFree86 is working well, but prereq just check rpm)
How do I register a new package in my rpm database???
------
From my linux-box:
linux:~ # rpm -qa | grep XFree
XFree86-server-4.3.99.902-43.22
XFree86-4.3.99.902-43.22
XFree86-fonts-75dpi-4.3.99.902-43.22
XFree86-server-glx-4.3.99.902-43.22
XFree86-Mesa-4.3.99.902-43.22
XFree86-man-4.3.99.902-43.22
XFree86-Xvnc-4.3.99.902-43.22
XFree86-fonts-scalable-4.3.99.902-43.22
XFree86-libs-4.3.99.902-43.22
XFree86-devel-4.3.99.902-43.22
----
I would like to add a line:
XFree86-Xvfb-4.3.99.902-43.22
---
This is what I have installed, but not reqognised by my applications prereq check.

Hello
if you run
The package is registered in the rpm database without being really installed in the file system (see 'man rpm').
Maybe this option will do what you need.
Regards.

Try #1 -------------
> rpm -U --justdb XFree86-Xvfb-4.3.99.902-43.22
error: cannot open file XFree86-Xvfb-4.3.99.902-43.22: No such file or directory

Try #2 -------------
> touch XFree86-Xvfb-4.3.99.902-43.22.rpm
> rpm -U --justdb XFree86-Xvfb-4.3.99.902-43.22.rpm
error: XFree86-Xvfb-4.3.99.902-43.22.rpm does not appear to be a RPM package
-------------------

My problem is that XFree86 from xfree86.org have there own installer (it works perfect). My other application prereq checks only with something like "rpm -qa | grep XFree86-Xvfb*".

So I need to insert the name in the rpm-database without having the actual rpm-package.

I downloaded a package that was wrong version...
and then wrote this command :-)
rpm -U --justdb --force --oldpackage --nodeps XFree86-Xvfb-4.3.0-2.i386.rpm
So no I have the right name in rpm-database :-)
(probably some other upcomming problems with this, but its only a sandbox-machine)
