Python 2.6 dependencies error installing python-sqlite2-2.5.5-1.1.i586.rpm

Hi

Im trying to install vodafone mobile connect 2.10 (noarch.rpm) but keep getting a python = 2.6 is needed by python-sq*.

I had Python 2.6 installed and upgraded to 2.6.6, but still got the error.

What could i be doing wrong or what repositories are short on my openSuse 11.0 to have the installation work.

I downloaded the correct version of vodafone for my system.

Regards

Welcome to LQ.

Suse 11 has python 2.5.2 installed by default.
Please try this command : rpm -qa | grep python

When you install a package with # rpm -Uvh <package>.rpm :
'rpm' will look in the rpm data base to know what's installed.
A manual install of a different python will not be known by rpm.

If you are absolutely sure, you have the correct dependencies,
then the "--nodeps" option can be used :
# rpm -Uvh --nodeps <package>.rpm
