/bin/sh needed by MySQL + Webmin???


When I try to install webmin-1.150-1.noarch.rpm

I get



Code:
warning: webmin-1.150-1.noarch.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 11f63c51
error: Failed dependencies:
        /bin/sh is needed by webmin-1.150-1
root@j0sh:~#
Although /bin/sh does exist?

Father on I tried to install MySQL and it gae me same /bin/sh and sh-utils

So I decided to install sh-utils, and said /bin/sh was needed by it?

So lsot....

Thanks.

First of all you should try to avoid rpm's in Slack since slack
doesn't maintain the rpm database for you.

Secondly, rpm doesn't check the physical presence of a
file, it looks it up in its database.

If everything actually is in place, and you MUST use rpms for
whatever reason, just install them forced ...




Cheers,
Tink
