i am still fresh with linux
i got a problem here
i`m using RH9 ( please dont ask me to change to the latest linux o/s because this is what i been asigned for even it is outdated) and using kernel 2.4.20-8
the problem is i tyr to uninstall my openssh and i wanna intall a the latest package for the openssh package. but a as i run the uninstall command, it cant run the uninstall operation
rpm -e openssh
error: Failed dependencies:
openssh = 3.5p1-6 is needed by (installed) openssh-clients-3.5p1-6
openssh = 3.5p1-6 is needed by (installed) openssh-server-3.5p1-6
openssh = 3.5p1-6 is needed by (installed) openssh-askpass-3.5p1-6
openssh = 3.5p1-6 is needed by (installed) openssh-askpass-gnome-3.5p1-6

so, do i had to unistall all the related package first or juz install the new openssh package without uninstall the current openssh package

You can reinstall those with the matching versions. Using such an old distro, you may run into other dependencies which could cause more serious problems.

rpm -e openssh openssh-clients openssh-server openssh-askpass openssh-askpass-gnome

You can install them as a group as well either using the rpm command with the entire filenames as arguments or using your package manager.

You might want to look at the information on these packages to see what their dependencies are:
rpm -q --requires -p openssh-askpass-4.4p1-24.x86_64.rpm
